In addition, the salt solution allows the gums to become more resistant to bacteria, pathogens, adjusts the pH level of the mouth, reduces pressure and ultimately increases the strength of the gums. Experts believe that saline solution prevents the growth of bacteria by reducing the acidity of the oral cavity. Adjusting the pH prevents the growth of pathogens in the cavity, resulting in healthier and stronger gums.
