How to rinse the gums with inflammation? All the best pharmacy and home remedies

All medicines used to relieve inflammation from the gums can be divided into 2 types: antiseptic (which kill pathogenic bacteria) and anti-inflammatory. In this case, the antiseptic solution directly affects the bacteria that provoke the development of the inflammatory process. Anti-inflammatory drugs have little to no effect on bacteria, but they can reduce inflammatory responses. So how to rinse your mouth with gum disease?

The choice of remedy largely depends on the disease of the patient. So with gingivitis or periodontitis, you can use any medication, but antiseptics will have the greatest effect in this case. If a person has an inflamed hole after tooth extraction, then in this case only antimicrobial drugs, such as Chlorhexidine, can be used.

Antiseptic gum treatments

Of the variety of drugs available today for rinsing inflamed gums, doctors most often prescribe Chlorhexidine and Miramistin. These professional dental products have powerful antimicrobial properties. After all, most often inflammation of the gums is provoked by bacteria that make up plaque and tartar.

• Chlorhexidine 0.05% can be bought at any pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. Despite the low cost, this is a very effective remedy with a strong antimicrobial effect. To relieve inflammation from the gums, it is recommended to rinse your mouth with Chlorhexidine 2 times a day in the morning and evening after dental hygiene. It can be used both for inflammation in the oral cavity, and after the extraction of teeth.
• Miramistin 0.01%. This solution can also be bought without a doctor's prescription at any pharmacy. It also has a low price, but its antimicrobial action is slightly inferior to Chlorhexidine. However, Miramistin can affect not only bacteria, but also the herpes virus, so they can also treat herpetic stomatitis.
• Furacilin- a drug that is widely used both for colds and dental diseases. To prepare the solution, you need to crush 1 tablet of the medicine and mix it with 100 ml of warm boiled water. After that, approximately 1/3 of the solution must be taken into the mouth and kept there for 2-3 minutes until you feel that the pain goes away. The remaining solution cannot be used. Rinse your mouth with furatsilin once every 2-3 hours. Usually, after a day, inflammation practically disappears in patients. However, to consolidate the effect, it is recommended to carry out the procedure in the morning and evening for several more days.

For gum inflammation, it is not recommended to rinse your mouth with peroxide. It can only be used in the doctor's office and only as a complex therapy, but not as a separate tool. Dentists use peroxide when cleaning periodontal pockets. During this procedure, the doctor draws peroxide into a syringe and cuts off the sharp end of the needle. After that, the end of the needle is placed in the periodontal pocket, and the doctor begins to wash it under pressure. During the procedure, a large amount of pus and bacteria are washed out.

Doing such a procedure yourself at home is categorically not recommended, as this can lead to sad consequences. But the usual rinsing of the oral cavity with peroxide will not bring absolutely no result. During rinsing, the liquid does not enter the periodontal pockets and only washes the mucosa. In addition, diluted peroxide almost completely loses all of its medicinal properties. Its concentration should be 3%.

Anti-inflammatory drugs usually have a mild antibacterial effect, but they are best at reducing inflammation. Please note that almost all herbal infusions with anti-inflammatory action contain alcohol, which is necessary during manufacture for extraction.

It is not recommended to rinse your mouth with soda solution for inflammation of the gums. Soda is not only unable to relieve inflammation, it loosens the gums, as a result of which pathogenic bacteria penetrate into the deeper layers of tissues. Because of all this, the course of the disease is only getting worse.

Dentist advice

Make an appointment with your dentist every 3 to 4 months for a routine checkup. Do not rush to remove decayed and mobile teeth. Consult with other experts, compare several opinions.

Each of us can prepare decoctions and infusions for rinsing the mouth at home. However, it is important to know that all herbal infusions contain a large amount of pigments that tend to stick to tooth enamel in a short time.

As a result, after some time, a film appears on the teeth, on which bacteria settle. This can cause an increase in the thickness of plaque and calculus. Not the best choice in this situation would be rinsing your mouth with oak bark. Due to the presence of a large amount of coloring components in such a decoction, the teeth darken very quickly. Therefore, the right choice would still be rinsing the mouth with special medicinal elixirs. They contain all the useful substances from medicinal plants, while they are devoid of pigmentation. Such elixirs can be used throughout the year, but provided that they do not contain any antibacterial additives.
