Treatments For Gingivitis

Sun, Oct 21, 18 . Admin Editor

Gingivitis is the inflammation of the tissues that both support and surround the teeth, otherwise known as gums. This occurs typically when a person has poor oral hygiene. It is actually a fairly common condition that runs the gamut of severity. Many who experience varying degrees of the ailment experience bleeding gums; some experience just a bit of soreness while others may actually have painful, blood-filled blisters on their gums.

Those who smoke or chew tobacco have a higher risk of suffering from this condition and also may have it longer as it won't heal as rapidly for those who partake in these bad habits. Here are some natural and over-the-counter solutions to this issue.

Green Tea

Due to the natural antioxidants present in green tea, it's actually very good for oral health. If you are suffering from gingivitis, you may also be suffering from bad breath, which is a common side effect of the issue. Green tea is also known to reduce the inflammation that is present in the body. This will intrinsically help to lessen the reaction your gums are having. It will soothe them and also help provide them with soothing nutrients.

Hydrogen Peroxide

One of the reasons that gingivitis is so prevalent is due to the amount of bacteria that resides in our mouths at any given time. The mouth is full of bacteria and when that bacteria is not properly balanced or gotten rid of, it can cause a problem for the teeth, gums and tongue. This is why proper hygiene is so undoubtedly essential because without it, we would all have mouths filled with bacteria. You can use hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash. Pour a teaspoon into some warm water and rinse your mouth as usual. Ensure you do not swallow the liquid.

Baking Soda

Baking soda can be used for a myriad of different purposes. It is one of the most multifaceted products on the market. It's very inexpensive and virtually harmless. If you are looking for a way to treat your gingivitis, try using baking soda and water to brush your teeth. There are various benefits associated with using baking soda. Some people use it to naturally whiten teeth. It can also naturally help to neutralize the acids that occur in the mouth which help gingivitis flourish.

Oil Pulling

An ancient practice that has many health benefits associated with it, oil pulling helps to reduce the amount of bacteria that exists in the mouth and around the teeth. You can use any type of vegetable oil such as sesame, coconut or avocado oil. Using the oil as a rinse for your mouth will help to eliminate pesky bacteria. Make sure to keep the oil in for at least 15 seconds. Rinse your mouth with warm water after the process to further rid your mouth of the bacteria that causes gingivitis.
