Gum care

Changing to a new toothbrush can sometimes result in bruising the gum because the new bristles roughly cut the gum while brushing. A bruised gum can contribute to other oral problems. Here are some home remedies that can alleviate your pain. Get a fresh garlic clove and coat it with salt then put it on the swollen area. Gurgling with warm salt water mix can also be a great help.
