I am not a dentist, but when my gums were bleeding slightly, I started rinsing with warm salt water twice a day. It really helped reduce the swelling in my mouth. But for proper cleaning, I still had to visit my dentist.

Beta, massaging the gums very gently with a tiny pinch of turmeric and mustard oil is an old household remedy. It helps keep the gums strong, but if there is pus or severe pain, you must visit a proper dental clinic immediately.

Don't ignore your gums or you'll be eating baby food soon! Warm salt water rinses work like magic for minor swelling. But seriously, go see a dentist before your teeth decide to leave your mouth.

True, brushing twice daily and using a soft-bristled brush makes a huge difference in reversing early gum swelling.
