Home remedies · Mouth, teeth, eyes & feet
No home remedy here replaces treatment, and none is talked down. What has done good for generations does good — even if no one ever measured it. Where something is well studied, it says so. Where it is only experience, it says that too.
Keep brushing rather than avoiding the spot — gently, with a soft brush, and clean between the teeth daily.
Bleeding gums are inflamed gums. They bleed because plaque sits there — not because of too much brushing. With daily cleaning it usually stops within one or two weeks.
Mouthwash does not replace mechanical cleaning; plaque has to be brushed away.
If it continues or teeth loosen, see a dentist. With blood thinners or unexplained bleeding tendency get it medically assessed.
To the doctor or dentist: facial swelling with fever, toothache with trouble opening the mouth, a knocked-out tooth — that is an emergency with a short window. For the eye: sudden loss of vision, severe pain, flashes of light. Sore places in the mouth lasting beyond three weeks.
