Gum diseases are due to the formation of plaque between the teeth. The early 
stage of gum disease is called gingivitis. If it is untreated it becomes severe and 
is called periodontitis. To treat gum diseases at an early stage you need to 
follow some home remedies. In this article we will discuss some of the home 
remedies.
Green tea
Drinking a cup of green tea daily reduces gum diseases. Green tea has anti 
inflammatory property. It contains anti oxidants which interfere with the 
inflammatory response associated with the gum diseases and cures the gum 
diseases.
Stress reduction
Reduce stress to prevent gum diseases. There is a relationship between 
stress and gum problems. Stress reduces the immunity and therefore the 
body can not fight against infections and gums become susceptible to 
infections and leads to gum problems.
Rinsing mouth with salt water
Dissolve a small amount of salt in warm water and rinse your mouth with 
warm salt water for 30 seconds and repeat it for several times. Salt 
solution reduces swollen gums and removes the infection. Daily doing 
this helps you to cure gum problems.
Brush with baking soda
After having meal, brush with baking soda to prevent gum disease. Mix 
the baking soda with water to form a paste and brush with it to neutralize 
the acids present in mouth. This prevents the tooth decay and gum 
problems.
Rinse with hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide has anti bacterial property. Rinsing mouth with 
hydrogen peroxide kills the bacteria in our mouth and oral cavity become 
healthy. Be sure not to consume hydrogen peroxide.
Brush with tea tree oil
Tea tree oil has natural anti septic activity which prevents the gums from 
infection. Rubbing gums and teeth with tea tree oil even eliminates the 
signs of gum problems. Brushing with toothpaste containing tea tree oil 
also has the same effect.
Rub honey on infected gums
Honey has both anti septic and anti bacterial property so it can be used to treat 
or prevent gum diseases. Rubbing the gums or infected gum with honey cures 
the gum problem. Do not apply honey on teeth as it contains sugar content.
Vitamin-C
Deficiency of vitamin-C causes scurvy (gum bleeding). Intake of rich content of 
vitamin-C helps to prevent gum bleeding as it has anti oxidant property. It 
protects the gums from infection by fighting against infection. Vitamin-C
