Teabags
Choose a tea with a high concentration of astringent tannins, such as black tea, green tea, ginger tea, chamomile tea, or hibiscus tea. Or, select a tea that includes an anti-inflammatory plant, such as ginger or chamomile.
Tannins are a substance present in certain teas. According to studies, tannins may alleviate gum discomfort by eliminating microorganisms in the mouth causing gum pain. Tannin-rich green tea, hibiscus tea, and black tea may be used to mitigate unpleasant gum discomfort.
The tannins in tea fight microorganisms and alleviate gum discomfort. Ginger and chamomile are the most effective tea bags for reducing inflammation. Due to their high tannin content, black and green tea are excellent options. The anti-inflammatory herbs will calm the gums, while the tannins will absorb any irritants.
While making tea, steep a new tea bag in boiling water for up to 5 minutes. When the tea bag is cold enough to touch, place it immediately on the gums for at least five minutes. Dipping the tea bag in ice water will relieve further pain if you are not sensitive to cold.
