Natural Remedies for Sensitive Gums

Gum Discomfort Isn’t Always About Brushing Too Hard

Gums can become sensitive for a variety of reasons — hormonal changes, medications, whitening treatments, even the weather. If your gums feel swollen, burn, or bleed easily, you’re not alone. While serious cases may require a dentist’s care, many people find gentle relief in natural remedies.

Gentle Ingredients That Soothe, Not Sting

• Aloe Vera: Naturally calming and anti-inflammatory, aloe can help reduce redness and irritation.

• Chamomile & Green Tea: Both contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that comfort inflamed tissue.

• Coconut Oil: Often used in oil pulling, it coats and hydrates the mouth while supporting the oral microbiome.

• Xylitol: A natural sweetener that helps reduce bacteria, support saliva flow, and ease dry mouth.

Helpful Habits to Try

• Switch to a soft-bristle or silicone toothbrush

• Use alcohol-free mouthwash with gentle botanicals

• Rinse with cool (not hot) water after brushing

• Avoid spicy, citrus-heavy, or crunchy foods while healing
