Swollen gums =========================== Swollen gums, also called gingivitis, are often irritable, tender, or painful. You may also notice that your gums bleed more easily when you brush or floss. Gums are very important to your oral health....Gums are made of hard pink tissue that covers your jawbone....this tissue is thick, fibrous and full of blood vessels. Gingival swelling usually starts where the gums meet the teeth....your gums may become so swollen that they begin to hide parts of your teeth....swollen gums look red instead of the usual pink color. Home Remedies for Swollen Gums **salt water** Salt water rinse can relieve gingivitis. Mix a teaspoon of salt and eight ounces of warm and lukewarm water together. Rinse your mouth with this salt water solution for 3 seconds. Roll in your mouth and do not swallow. Do this 2-3 times a day until the swelling goes away. #### **Cold and hot compress** Cold and warm compresses can relieve the pain and swelling of swollen gums. After soaking a clean washcloth or washcloth in warm water, squeeze out the excess water. Keep the warm cloth on your face for about 5 minutes, outside the mouth, not directly on the gums. Wrap a bag of crushed ice in a clean handkerchief or towel and keep it on your face for about 5 minutes. Repeat the hot/cold cycle 2-3 more times. Do this 2 to 3 times a day for the first two days after you discover swollen gums. ##### **Turmeric gel** Turmeric contains curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.. Turmeric gel may prevent plaque and gingivitis. After brushing, rinse your mouth with fresh water. Apply turmeric gel on your gums. Let the gel stay on your gums for about 10 minutes. Swish fresh water around your mouth to rinse the gel. Swirl in your mouth and do not swallow... Do this twice a day until the swelling goes away. ###### **oxygenated water** The Indiana State Department of Health recommends that red, painful, or swollen gums should be washed thoroughly with water and a hydrogen peroxide solution, and only with a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution. Mix three tablespoons of three percent hydrogen peroxide with three tablespoons of water. Swirl the mixture around your mouth for about 30 seconds. Do this 2-3 times a week until the swelling goes away. ###### **Essence** Mint, tea tree and thyme oil are effective in preventing the growth of pathogenic microorganisms in the mouth. Mix three drops of peppermint, thyme, or tea tree essential oil with 8 ounces of warm water. Rinse your mouth by swirling the mixture for about 30 seconds. Swirl in your mouth and do not swallow. Do this twice a day until the swelling goes away. ### The common causes of gum swelling are: - Gingivitis (inflamed gums) - Infection (virus or fungus) - malnutrition - Dental prostheses or inappropriate dental appliances - Pregnancy - Allergy to toothpaste or mouthwash - Food particles are stuck between teeth and gums - drug side effects The best way to determine the root cause of swollen gums is to check your symptoms with a dentist so he can give an accurate and complete diagnosis. If the swelling lasts more than a week, see your dentist for a complete evaluation, diagnosis and recommended treatment plan. **Click to reserve an appointment online!!!**
