Customer question:

Can baking soda help with inflamed gums? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Baking soda is sometimes used to help relieve sore gums or improve oral health. However, it is essential to understand that it should be used cautiously, as long-term and excessive use of baking soda can cause adverse effects on the teeth and oral mucosa.

If you want to use baking soda for gum care, here are some steps:

• Make the paste: mix a small amount of baking soda with water to create a paste with a smooth consistency.
• Apply the paste to the toothbrush: take a small amount of the paste with a clean toothbrush.
• Brush gently: brush your teeth and gums gently but thoroughly. Be careful not to damage the gums with rough brushing.
• Spit out and rinse: after brushing, spit out the paste and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.

Please do not use this method very often, as it may cause possible damage to the tooth enamel. Baking soda is abrasive, and long-term use or excessively rough brushing can cause tooth enamel wear.

It is also important to emphasize that the best way to maintain healthy gums and oral health is to maintain regular oral hygiene, including proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. If you have problems with inflamed gums, consult your dentist for professional advice and proper medical care.

What causes inflammation of the gums?

Gingivitis, also known as gingivitis, is usually caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth and gums. Bacterial plaque is a colorless substance that forms on the teeth when bacteria in the mouth combine with saliva and food debris. If bacterial plaque is not removed in time, it can cause inflammation of the gums and other problems in the mouth.

The following factors can contribute to gum inflammation:

• poor oral hygiene
• smoking and tobacco
• particular food and drink, lovely
• genetic predisposition
• pregnancy
• certain medicines
• other health problems

Gingivitis is usually an early and reversible form of gum disease. With proper oral hygiene, brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits, further gum problems can be treated and prevented.

However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more severe forms, such as periodontitis, which can cause permanent damage to the gums and teeth. Therefore, it is essential to take care of your oral health and consult a dentist if you have problems with inflammation.
