Symptoms of gum disease include bleeding, pain, receding/infected gums, toothache, and even bad breath. It usually begins as only a slight inconvenience, but may soon spread to all areas of the gums, teeth, and mouth.

So what can we do about this and handle dental care in the comfort of our own homes? Here are a few remedies that you can try out.

Warm salty water – this is good for killing bacteria, cleaning the mouth in general, and fighting off infections.

Vitamin C – drinking orange juice or getting Vitamin C in other forms are good in stopping bleeding gums.

Massage your gums – this will help to develop stronger gum muscles.
