3. Baking soda and turmeric mixture
If you are suffering from swollen gums, a mixture of baking soda and turmeric can be an effective way to provide relief. Baking soda has both antibacterial and antiseptic qualities, which is why it is so commonly used to treat a variety of ailments, such as sunburn and bug bites. It can also be an effective way to reduce swollen gums. Turmeric is a spice that not only provides wonderful flavor, but also has a number of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties.
To use baking soda and turmeric to treat swollen gums, combine the two ingredients and add in a few drops of warm water, mixing together until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to your gums and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse your mouth with warm water. Repeat the process once in the morning and once at night for several days.
