Gum swelling - #17630
For the past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with gum swelling, and I can’t seem to get rid of it. My gums look puffy, and sometimes they feel tender, especially when I brush my teeth. At first, I thought I was brushing too hard, but even when I switched to a softer brush, the swelling didn’t go away. I went to a dentist, and they told me it could be due to plaque buildup, bacteria, or even hormonal changes. They recommended using a medicated mouthwash, but I’d rather try a natural solution first. Does Ayurveda have effective remedies for gum swelling? Are there specific herbs or oils that can help reduce inflammation and strengthen gum health? I’ve heard about turmeric and clove for oral care—do they actually work? Another thing I’m wondering is whether my diet plays a role in this. I eat a lot of sweets and dairy products—could these be making my gums more inflamed? Does Ayurveda recommend specific foods for maintaining gum health? If anyone has successfully treated gum swelling with Ayurveda, what worked for you? How long did it take to notice a difference? I want to avoid further gum issues, so any advice on long-term Ayurvedic oral care would be really helpful.
