Gum disease is best treated in its earliest stages. Going to the dentist for a gum treatment will decrease the chances of the problem developing into a more complicated one. However, there are solutions that you can do in the comfort of your own home to lessen the effects of gum disease, and also to deal with the discomfort that this problem brings.
Use tea bags
After steeping a tea bag in boiling water, allow it to cool and then place on the affected gum area. Tannic acid from the tea bag will help fight the gum infection.
Have some honey
The antibacterial properties of honey can help fight the infection on gums. After brushing your teeth, apply a small amount honey on your gums, being careful not to put too much so the high-sugar substance does not stay on your teeth surfaces.
Eat more food items rich in vitamin C
Vitamin C helps fight gum disease infection, and promotes the growth of connective tissue which may have been damaged by gum disease.
Gargle with saltwater
A small amount of sea salt in warm water can be gargled for a few seconds to combat infection from an abscess, and also to reduce gum inflammation.
Stop smoking
The harmful chemicals in cigarettes and tobacco products can delay the healing of gum disease, and decreases your body’s ability to combat infection.
Relax to reduce stress
Stress makes your immune system weaker, making you more susceptible to gum disease and other infections.
