Natural Remedies for Healthy Gums

Proper gum care is part of good dental hygiene. If you want to have healthy teeth and gums and want to have a beautiful shimmering smile, follow these simple natural remedies for healthy gums.

Eat citrus fruits as they contain Vitamin C that helps in strengthening the teeth and prevents plaque deposit. Oranges, grape fruits, lemon, lime, pomegranate, and guavas are excellent sources of Vitamin C.

Take sesame oil, turmeric powder, black pepper and salt and mix them well. Use this mixture to massage your gums every day.

Rub honey gently along your gum line. Honey has natural anti-bacterial properties that fights germs and bacteria and keeps your teeth and gums healthy and disease-free.

Add a pinch of salt in a glass of lukewarm water and use this solution for rinsing your mouth. It helps improve blood circulation to your gums and reduces reddening and swelling.

Brush and floss your teeth regularly. You must also clean your teeth once in a day to prevent plaques from forming inside your mouth.

If you notice spongy, dark red, or pale gums or you experience pain and sensitivity, or bleeding while brushing, consult your family dentist. These are signs of unhealthy gums and usually indicate gum problem.
