Gum Massage: The Secret Remedy to Reverse Gum Recession

• Saltwater rinse: Mixing half a teaspoon of table salt into a warm cup of water can create a rinse to help reduce inflammation and remove bacteria. Swish thoroughly for 30 seconds and spit.
• Brushing and flossing gently: Proper oral hygiene is essential to remove plaque and bacteria that contribute to gum disease. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and be gentle at the gumline.

These remedies can be helpful alongside professional treatment, but it’s important to see a dentist to address the underlying cause of your gum recession. They can recommend the best course of treatment, which may include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), gum grafting surgery, or medication.
