Whats a good home remedy to help keep your gums healthy.?

I'v always been told to rinse your mouth with hydro perioxide, but I can not stomach the taste. There as to be something better besides all the mouthwashes that you can find in the dept stores. Besides that, I think the mouthwashes are too sweet and taste nasty. I always floss, but sometimes my gums will still bleed with flossing, or using any plastic toothpicks after a meal . Pls help!!

If your going to use hydrogen peroxide.. you should use it at a 1/5 ratio .. the 5 being water.. Healthy gums are maintained by everyday plaque removal, therefore it is advised that you brush your teeth after eating. Most dentists recommend brushing 2-3 times per day with a good toothpaste and a newer toothbrush. Brushing for a few minutes is also grand. Brushing does not get everything out of your mouth, however. A nice swig of mouth wash can go a long way. The alcohol in the mouth wash kills off almost all of the bacteria in your gums. Getting rid of plaque with your toothbrush and bacteria with mouthwash will leave your gums nice and clean. Remember to always floss, even if it bleeds, it is so important.

Also, too much sugar and sweets are detrimental to the health of your gums and regulating this a little will help dramatically.

Good luck!
