Natural treatment for gum inflammation

Mild gum inflammation is best supported by gentle plaque removal, interdental cleaning, and dental assessment rather than household remedies.

Plaque at the gum margin triggers inflammation. Home care can reduce plaque, but calculus and deep pockets require professional treatment.

Salt water may soothe briefly but does not remove calculus. Concentrated oils, acids, powders, and abrasives can irritate gum tissue or wear surfaces.

Brush gently with fluoride toothpaste, clean between teeth daily, and arrange professional cleaning when deposits are present.

Seek care for continuing bleeding, swelling, recession, pus, loose teeth, odor, or pain. Fever or swelling toward the face or neck is urgent.
