Is salt water useful for swollen gums?

Salt water is generally effective for swollen and painful gums and can help improve the condition.

Salt water can have an anti-inflammatory effect and can help relieve the symptoms of tooth pain, but it can only achieve slight adjustments and cannot be used to treat the condition. If your gum swelling and pain symptoms are severe, it is likely caused by gingivitis or pathogen infection, which usually causes obvious swelling and pain in the gums, and may even be accompanied by increased chewing pain or limited chewing. You need to go to a local regular hospital for a dental examination in time, and then give reasonable treatment according to the individual cause of the disease, so as to avoid further aggravation of the symptoms.

In daily life, you must pay attention to oral hygiene care and develop a good habit of brushing your teeth every day, such as brushing your teeth in the morning and evening or rinsing your mouth after meals. When brushing your teeth, try to choose an electric toothbrush or a soft-bristled toothbrush. This can achieve a deep cleaning effect and avoid food residues staying in the gaps between teeth or bacterial growth. You also need to go to the hospital's dental department regularly for ultrasonic teeth cleaning. Generally, you need to clean your teeth once every three months. This can remove tartar on the surface of the teeth and achieve the effect of deep cleaning the teeth, which is also good for the health of the teeth.
