11 Easy Solutions to Reduce Swollen Gums

Swollen gums are a common dental problem that many people experience. While some people end up going to the dentist to find out what they can do to treat swollen gums, there are actually some natural remedies that work pretty well. Swollen gums can definitely make it more difficult to get through the day, because you experience discomfort even when you’re not eating or drinking, and you often experience more discomfort when you do eat or drink something. This can make it difficult to look forward to mealtimes which makes your days even harder than they need to be. But there are some easy solutions out there to reduce swollen gums. Let’s take a look at 11 ways that you can reduce swollen gums just using things that you find around your own home. You shouldn’t have to spend money at the dentist to take care of swollen gums.

1. Salt Water Rinse

A saltwater rinse is one of the best things that you can do to prevent your gums from swelling up and to get them relief when they do. All you have to do is add a tablespoon of salt into a glass of warm water. Mix the salt up thoroughly and then put as much in your mouth as you can and swish it around completely.

Keep doing this until the water glass is empty. You will notice that your swelling symptoms reduce almost immediately. Saltwater rinse is also a good home solution if you have dental pain. Often, the same dental pain is caused by inflammation which is why so many dentists recommend salt water rinses.

The reason that this works is due to salt water’s ability to neutralize the pH inside your mouth and its ability to soothe inflamed gums. If you combine this with an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen, it becomes even more effective.
