Gingivitis and abscess occur due to the presence of bacteria in the oral environment. Gargling with salt water in the mouth on a regular basis leads to the removal of inflammatory fluids from the gum tissue and helps in the treatment of inflammation. In addition, strengthening the gums also prevents future infections.
This method can also help treat an abscess through the osmosis process. In these cases, salt or sodium chloride in contact with cells removes bacterial fluid and inflammatory agents from that area and reduces infection and abscess in it.
