Garlic
Throughout history, garlic has been frequently used for therapeutic reasons. It has potent antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties that are excellent for preventing gum disease. In addition, garlic is a rich source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, phosphorus, and calcium. Due to its antibacterial characteristics, garlic can reduce the bacteria on the teeth that may lead to inflamed gums and the formation of infected pockets.
Allicin, one of the most well-known chemicals in garlic, has antibacterial and anti-microbial qualities that may assist in destroying some of the bacteria that cause gum pain. It also contains eugenol, a well-known anti-microbial. Garlic is also proven to treat scurvy, an illness caused by a lack of oral hygiene and vitamin C deficiency.
There are several methods to utilize garlic to alleviate gum discomfort. Add one drop of garlic oil to a glass of water and use it as a mouthwash.
The peeled garlic clove can also be chewed gently. This will produce allicin, which destroys bacteria that may contribute to gum pain.
Smash garlic using a mortar or the back of a spoon and combine it with a sprinkle of salt, which is also anti-microbial and may relieve inflammation.
