Though gum problems can lead to serious dental diseases, don’t leave it untreated. I am going to mention some of the best home remedies to cure gum problems but if problem persists, contact the doctor immediately. Check out these remedies for healthy and beautiful gums:
Reduce Stress
Experts say that dental health is directly related to stress. If you are stressed, your immune system doesn’t combat the bacteria properly which leads to periodontal disease and your gums gets infected.

Salt water is best known to reduce swollen gums and fight with infection. Include this remedy into your daily brushing routine. Repeat it twice a day especially at night!!
Scrub some Honey over Gums
Honey has antiseptic properties which treats infected gums. What you can do is take some honey rub it over the infected gums after brushing your teeth. Make sure not to overdo the rubbing given the high sugar level of honey, I would say applying it on your gums only and not teeth.
Make a Paste of Salt and Lemon
Squeeze out one lemon juice and mix it with salt to form a paste. Apply on your gums and wait for few minutes. Spit it out with warm water. Lemon is rich in Vitamin C which helps fighting off the infection of gums. So it’s a WIN-WIN solution for gum diseases.
Apply Tea Bags
Blend a tea bag in hot water for 2-3 minutes and let it cool after removing it. It should be such that you can hold it comfortably. And then place the tea bag over the affected gums for 5 minutes. It is a best remedy for gum problems as the tannic acid works wonders to relieve infected gums.
Don’t drink tea thinking that it will cure your gums. Instead, it will cause teeth discoloration or staining.

Other than lemon, foods like kiwi, bell peppers, oranges, mango, grapes, strawberry and papaya also have remarkable benefits in treating infected gums. All these foods are rich in vitamin C, so get rid of your gum problems getting your hands on these stuffs.
