Bleeding gums, swelling, and persistent pain can be quite discomforting, and they indicate an imbalance often related to increased Pitta dosha, which entails inflammation and heat. Since you mentioned a filled cavity, it seems that dental concerns might have been addressed, but the gum issues persist. Let's dive into an Ayurvedic approach to such symptoms to promote gum health and alleviate pain.
Firstly, there's the consideration of your diet. An overly spicy, acidic or salty diet can aggravate Pitta, leading to inflammation in the gums. Try to favor cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and green leafy vegetables. To soothe the gums, consider using Turmeric and Triphala as they have anti-inflammatory properties. You can prepare a herbal decoction by boiling Triphala powder with water and using it as a mouth rinse, twice daily. This can help reduce bleeding and firm up the gums.
Next, oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil could be beneficial. Swish about a tablespoon of oil in the mouth on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning, for about 10 to 15 minutes before brushing. This practice is known to support oral health, reducing bacterial load and inflammation. Ensure to spit it out and rinse well post-swish with warm water.
In terms of oral hygiene, it's crucial to use a soft bristle toothbrush to minimize trauma to the gums when brushing. Also, you might want to brush with a herbal tooth powder—neem or clove-based powders are traditionally used for their antimicrobial qualities.
A paste made of Himalayan salt and mustard oil, gently massaged onto the gums with your fingertip, can also encourage healing. Be careful with the pressure to avoid worsening any bleeding.
If the pain remains persistent or worsens, it's essential to consult with a dental professional to rule out any complications like infections or deep-seated cavities. But remember, a balance of proper oral hygiene and a pacifying diet is quite key in maintaining gum health. Have attention about the signs your body gives, and adjust as needed!
