10 Tips To Reduce Swollen Gums At Home

- Dr Joseph Nemeth gives 10 tips to reduce swollen gums at home. Gum swelling is a very common problem and can be a sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease, otherwise known as gum disease.
There are a number of things that can cause swollen gums.
The most common cause of gum swelling is gum disease, gingivitis, or periodontitis. This is caused by bacteria that get between the teeth and the gums and cause an infection that usually causes the gums to swell.
Another cause can be poorly fitting dentures or partials that can actually irritate the gum tissue.
Medications can also cause #swollengums particularly high blood pressure medications.
Sometimes an individual can be sensitive to certain toothpastes or the ingredients in toothpastes. That can cause the gums to swell.
Another cause could be food particles, the most common culprit is popcorn kernels. Any foods that can easily get stuck between the tooth and the gum and can cause the gums to swell. It can actually cause bone destruction and contribute to gum disease.
Smoking or vaping can cause swollen gums. What happens is the nicotine in the tobacco product causes a constriction of the blood vessels and can cause the gum tissue to be malnourished which can contribute to gum swelling and even gum disease.
The #1 cause of gum swelling is gingivitis and periodontal disease. Also, not brushing and flossing the teeth properly and thoroughly can be a major contributing factor to #guminflammation.
So what can we do to treat swollen gums at home?
1. Thorough brushing and flossing will go a long way to reducing your problem.
2. Consider switching to a firmer toothbrush. A harder toothbrush will clean more thoroughly and and will stimulate the tissue to promote the flow of blood to the area.
3. Start using a Waterflosser or Waterpik. Start out on low pressure and build it up to the highest pressure.
4. Speak with your physician about switching your medication. You want to find a medication that is a non calcium channel blocker.
5. Try switching toothpastes. Depending on the individual certain toothpastes can cause irritation, erosion and #gumswelling If you still have a problem, try using no toothpaste at all.
6. Get a dental cleaning! A thorough dental cleaning will go a long way towards treating gum swelling.
7. Avoid tobacco products. Particularly chewing tobacco or snus. We have seen a number of patients who have destroyed their gum tissue from these products. It can absolutely contribute to swollen gums.
8. Avoid foods that get stuck between your teeth, like popcorn.
9. If your teeth aren't tight together, consider getting a filling or cleaning that area properly so that food does not get stuck in there and contribute to gum swelling.
10. If none of these options work, look into having your gingivitis or periodontitis treated! We use a laser, which is not painful, to treat the swollen gums and get rid of the gum disease.
Swollen gums are almost always a sign of an unhealthy situation. We want your mouth and your body to be as healthy as possible. If your mouth is not healthy, you are not going to be as healthy as you could be.
Try to treat your swollen gums at home, but if this is not possible we would love to help you!

For those dealing with infection or swollen gums, try rinsing mouth with clove oil or oregano oil with water. Glory to God, it helps me all the time when my gums are inflamed! 10 to 15 drops with a mouthful of water for about 60 seconds. Use until you get relief. Also oil pulling with coconut oil with a few drops of oregano oil 3x's per week helps with gum maintenance. Also a vitamin k2 plus d3 supplement is great for the teeth. Not a dentist or expert; just sharing what helped me. God bless!
Thank you!!

Thank you for the advice.
can i do this with braces on?

What I learned: don't eat popcorn.
My brother eats a lottttt of popcorn 0.0
It gets annoying tho in between your teeth
I just ate popcorn and my gums in front of my lower frontal teeth hurt so bad

Sir you have been a wonderful demonstrator, we love you too.
Wow can’t believe my moms blaming me for not brushing and flossing when she doesn’t know what causes your gums to swell
Exactly my mom keeps saying that im not brushing 😒 but I literally brush everyday and for some reasons my gum is swollen
My parents do this but it's with the dandruff in my hair and they love to say that l don't wash my hair yet l do that everyday

My mom blame me for using mobile phones and playing pc games are the reason for almost 99.9% of my problem
Fever, toothache, constipation, allergic reaction, insomia it's all because of playing games,
So my advice is to stop playing 🤣🤣🤣
this woke me up out of my sleep bc it’s so bad. i’ve been dealing with this for 13 hours and i can’t tell you how many times i cried
Me for the last two days
I hurt the screw implant and it just got super bad now i look like a chubby bunny in one side idk how to make it better:((( it hurts too
mine is very mild i’m sorry to hear that i hope u r doing better
That happened to me whenever I woke up my gums (bottom of my teeth) start to bleed every time that I spit in the sink, but I went to the dentist and I got to take pills to reduce the bleeding from my gums, and I'm so glad I'm getting a dental discount to pay to go to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned and fixed up!
Did any of you swell up in cheeks?
Oh how i wish you were my dentist you seem so kind plz any tips on keeping your teeth and gums healthy
I badly need this right now because my gums is swollen and it hurts. Thank you for the information.
I REALLY NEEDED this!! I'm ashamed to say I've let a crippling fear of the dentist keep me from getting healthy and now I have GD 😢😢😢
Is okay I understand same here but I started flushing and I see improvements flushing brushing three times a day using listening. Then one visit to the dentist should do it
Me2
Same here😩
Me too
Mouth hurts. Killer headache. The pain is most certainly worse than child birth. God bless the people who suffer with this. Disgustingly painful 😖.
I will try all of these ideas. I never could afford to go to a dentist as an adult. As a child I always had the most cavities. I flossed , brushed , and rinsed as a child. I still always had more cavities than my siblings.. genetics plays a big roll in a person’s overall health as well.
I finally figured it out! Dr Nemeth is like an captivating Christopher Walken / dental expert!
Low abrasive toothpaste is also important to save enamel. You can also just use water, flossing, and mouthwash.
This was extremely helpful.
This is very informative. Thank you.
I had a bad vitamin D deficiency and it wouldn't let me absorb calcium so it caused me to have to lose my teeth at 38 yrs. old. It lowers your self esteem or it has mine. I can't even talk sound like I have a lisp or something. Sucks bad don't even sound the same when I sing and I enjoyed doing that quite a bit. Hopefully things will get better soon🦷🦷🦷🎅Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you get everything you've ever wanted and then some!!!
i love you, you explained this so well and I am so glad you're on youtube

Hi doc. Nemeth thank you for the advice! 💙
Thanks as always Dr Nemeth! 🙏🏼
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the video. Surprised the first thing was not SUGAR! Maybe it's already understood as a no no
😊
Thanks Doctor this was very helpful information.
Thank you very much for your awesome dental advice Dr Nemeth. I just invested $600 in a new night guard. Wish you were closer to Chicago I would have made a consultation appointment with your office. There are only 2 LANAP certified Periodontists near Chicago in Skokie & Glenview. I think dentists don't refer pts to periodontists early enough because they want to make more money from pts that don't get effective early intervention or preventative treatment by periodontists. My dentist who also does Biohorizon implants says he doesn't refer to periodontists only endodontists! I think I'm going to refer myself to LANAP periodontist after I get my night guard. I don't have bleeding gums yet, but wore braces & have some some teeth with gum recession that I want treated before they progress any further.
Great channel, great content! Thank you doc
Very interesting about the no toothpaste. It's probably the first time I've heard about it. I think my issue is too much raisins, even though they're great for oral health dentists say. High potassium, which most people lack potassium.
🙏Thank you so much for the wonderful tips...my gum pain is almost GONE.🙏
Exactly what I needed.
This helped a lot thanks 🙏🏾
More great info from the doc!
Thanks so much Beth
Thanks I have a swollen gum right now and I think I know what it is.
Thanks this helped me a lot ! Is important too floss or brush after every meal !
I've been popcorn crazy as of late. Thank You Sir.
Hello, Dr. Joseph
Please, tell me when I can use the ultrasonic brush after LANAP?
Thanks for the lovely tips 🙏🙏
So, informative!
Thank you very much!!
ThanQ for posting this really useful video. On another note, I knew a family called Nemeth, they had Hungarian roots and pronounced it Nemm-ith instead of neem-eth.
Dam, a dentist that says don’t use toothpaste?!? This guy knows what’s up 🦷

Thank God and thanks for your advice doctor
thank you omg my parents keep saying I brush too hard
And mine speaks you don't brush
Omg, mine will keep on saying that I only brush my teeth and floss it because it started hurting and that I never do that after I eat and I just went to sleep.
Bruh same
Thank you sooo much for this, I have final exams next week, and need to be studying, but my gum was swollen over my wisdom tooth, and I could barely even eat, and it's uncomfortable even when not eating. I thought the fizzy drinks I'd had earlier were the culprit bc I don't typically drink them and they were acidic+high in sugar, but I completely forgot I'd had popcorn yesterday, as I literally only had less than half a handful someone offered me, and I immediately went to floss after watching the popcorn part of this video, and lo and behold, a popcorn kernel bit came out from the gum after like 5 minutes. I'm just going to eat a lot more healthily overall, and stay away from the popcorn for a bit = ).
Hello dentist ;
Thankyou for the video.I have swallowed gums because of braces
Thanks for the great information 😊👀❤️
You are very welcome!
WATCH WITH 1.5 SPEED YOU'LL THANK ME LATER...
Yep thanks

Thank you, Dr Nemeth! What is the laser procedure for removing the bacteria called? I would like to make sure that my dentist has this capability. If not, I may need to search for a periodontist.
Hello Desi, the laser procedure is called LANAP. Many dentists have the capability to do the procedure. However, often times a periodontist will be more experienced in the procedure. Good luck with your treatment!
Amazing DR 💯😁
Hey thanks for the information
This was so helpful. I have gum disease and I could not understand why because I brush and floss 2-3 times a day and it turns out is my medication🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I'm on medication & was told that the meds i take, will cause mouth ulcers & swollen gums.
Just found your channel. I'm at the very start of treatment for very bad gum disease. I have had the first cleaning but need root planning treatment and been told need at least four treatments, but my question is should the hygienist have taken xrays as he hasn't even suggested it
Where is this wonderful doctor located? And when you say no toothpaste? What do you use? Thanks 😊
Usefull information Doc. Tqs im adrian from sabah borneo
Dear Doctor, one side of my gum is extremely swollen 3 weeks after getting a deep cleaning could it be related?
My gum hurts so bad it's not even funny and it's swollen and the back of my bottom left. There's this big swelling behind my back tooth and I think im gonna have to get that medically removed 😭
Same, mine is also on my back left tooth
i had the same problem but all my dentist did was prescribe me amoxicillin and told me to swish warm salt water around my mouth 😭 i couldn't even open my mouth fully bc the pain went to my jaw, ear and tongue so imagine how painful it was to swish around the water
@@zaray6339 I was prescribed this, did it help in the end?
@@jetmirbruci2415 yes it actually did however on my prescription it recommended i take it 30 min earlier than the actual time i was suppose to take it. only because it takes a while to kick in but it helps. only problem i had was when i tried to sleep the pain came back but maybe i just needed more pillows
Good content Doc.
Had a stroke 2years ago They changed my medicine and they put ramipril and amlodpine and think u are right it causes my gum to be swallowing and a funny taste in my mouth. Thanks for this information doctor.
I am very frustated with my swollen gums. I am currently wearing braces and my doctor keep saying that I dont brush my teeth properly and she advised me that I should brush my teeth 45 degrees which is what I am doing right now but my swollen gums is still there. I am too frustated that I want to remove these braces and stop making efforts. I literally dont know what to do anymore.
Im the same exact way I get imbarssed because I’m like they really think I don’t brush my teeth
The only thing you have to do to remove years worth of stains is just use mouthwash but keep it in for like 10 minutes
(Use the alcohol ones i know it hurts but the ones like listerine only work)

Dr. Nemeth, I have a question regarding the pinhole technique. Have you had success using the pinhole technique for an implant crown, for the gum tissue above the crown and in the interproximal areas on each side of the crown? Is the work done only on the facial or on the lingual as well? Thanks...
good thing my father has experienced this swollen gums, he gave me tips on how to remove this bigass infection in my teeth.
Thank you so much God bless you
Thank you I live in Ionia Michigan and this video helped my get by till I. An see my dentist in. 2 more days
Hi Dr. Joseph i have two questions:
1 - You've recommended a harder toothbrush, but all i read is to use an extra-soft one for people who has chronic gingivitis/receding gums.
2- What kind of chewing gum should one chew? With Xilitol?
Thank you so much
Im confused on this one too
Yea I'm now using a hard toothbrush, mainly to massage my gums at the gum line. I find it to be more effective. I tried with soft toothbrush at first for a few months but my dentist said my gums are still swollen so I'm now using a hard one.
I am not a doctor but personally I use a harder one and I massage the gums themselves with a separate toothbrush head. It gets worse the first time you do it I guess the inflammation is what is needed to then improve the gum health. After 2-3 days you will find your gums nice and light pink and the swelling is gone. At least that was my experience.
I’ve been in pain for years - sad truth is I can’t afford it am in tears now I m only 37 and have neglected myself have 2 young kids my top gums are al swollen it’s past 1 in the morning and am here crying praying for a miracle I just want my mouth to be healthy so I can get to smile with me kids again
Start with what you can afford. I bought powdered turmeric (organic preferably) rub it on your gums with a bit of water to make a paste. Costs $2.00 and goes along way. Chew on a piece of clove also. Rinse salt water and baking soda ( baking soda alkaline). Sorry this message is 11 mos from when you posted. Hopefully you found help!
Very nice, thank you
I brush and floss everyday, but let me tell you... these night retainers can be a bish if they wanna be, along with not wearing them for ONE night... and I have Perecoronitis rn, getting out my wisdom teeth soon though 🌞🥰
I have swallon gums+ recession of gums both swelling on my morals and recession on my central teeth + having plauque on my teeth on a little amount due to lockdown and covid 19 i donot want to go outside even to a dentist wanted serious help what to do and i have wanted to know from where i can get that water floss system and how to use it

🙏for all your helpfull info (What to do begins at 2:15 ) …. Flossing, using a waterflosser twice a day is helpfull, brushing using a Soft toothbrush yet sometimes a little bit harder to get enough stimulation if you use bloodpressure meditation eventuelly swittch to no calcium and maybe change your toothpaste ( or use none) and get a good dental cleaning and of course avoid all smoking products …..😀🙏
Sir Joseph you really great perosn, .
Does hydrogen peroxide kill periodontal disease?
Treating gum disease
Because of its antibacterial properties, hydrogen peroxide may help treat gum disease. Plaque that forms on the teeth contains a slimy film of bacteria called a biofilm. Hydrogen peroxide releases oxygen that helps destroy the bacteria.Jan 8, 2019
Water flosser is key! I have been using a water flosser since Dec 2019.
And you fixed it ?
@@PokemonShinyLover Waterpik
Thank you so much Dr
Thank you very much doctor
God bless you all
What do you use instead of toothpaste? What are your thoughts on natural toothpastes?
I was hoping I could get the answer to that this too!
In another video he mentioned he just dry brushes. I think he also uses like toothpicks and water flosser.
I have inflamed redness over of of my teeth, so hopefully this is rather early enough that I can turn things around.
Can you please make a video talking about not having to use toothpaste?
