Gingivitis is characterised by irritated gums, which may be red or bleed easily when you brush your teeth, and is associated with dental tartar and plaque around the gum margins. Gingivitis is a condition that needs immediate treatment to prevent potential tooth loss.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More teeth are lost due to gum disease and gingivitis than due to actual tooth decay. Gingivitis \u2013 in which gums bleed easily, and plaque and tartar build up along their edges \u2013 is the most common gum condition.<\/p>\n
If gingivitis is left untreated, pus-filled pockets can develop at the base of the tooth, followed by pus accumulation and tooth loosening, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Good oral hygiene is essential in preventing this painful condition, but traditional remedies can be a highly effective treatment once infection has occurred.<\/p>\n
Next, let's look at the recommendations for treating and healing gum conditions.<\/p>\n
Conventional medicine recommends the initial use of antiseptic mouthwash and painkillers, in case of pain.<\/p>\n
Mouthwash, as recommended by the dentist, should be used 2-3 times daily. Painkillers should also be taken as per the doctor's recommendations.<\/p>\n

Avoid sugar and sugary products, and brush your teeth immediately after eating foods rich in sugar. If this is not possible, then chewing sugar-free gum for 15 minutes can be helpful.<\/p>\n An effective mouthwash in this situation can be obtained by adding a teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm water.<\/p>\n The following homeopathic remedies may be of assistance:<\/p>\n For their dosage, the prescriptions and recommendations of the specialist doctor will be taken into account.<\/p>\n Herbal mouthwashes and toothpastes help to strengthen and improve gum health.<\/p>\n Make a cooled and well-strained infusion, or a decoction containing medicinal plants, such as: lady's mantle, marigold, echinacea, horehound, rosemary, sage, and use it for rinsing the mouth.<\/p>\n Also, for brushing your teeth, use a toothpaste that contains natural extracts from these plants.<\/p>\n To boost your immune system, supplement your diet with natural remedies based on echinacea, royal jelly, and garlic.<\/p>\n Herbal remedies cannot replace proper dental care.
