Question:
Does warm salt water help cure swollen gums?
my gums are like swollen and i have like a small cut, and like its really irritating me. people say warm salt water helps. does it help really?
Answers:
It is an old wive's tale, but it is true. Salt water can help ease swollen and aching gums. Salt helps kill some of the bacteria causing the irritation due to gingivitis as yours sounds like it is. Won't help much if it is coming from a tooth abscess.
