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.
The effect of salt water in increasing gum resistance and reducing inflammation
One of the most important effects of water and salt is to strengthen the gums and increase their resistance, thus reducing gingivitis. The water and salt solution increases the osmotic pressure in the mouth, as a result of which gingivitis is greatly reduced. This increases the strength of the gums. In addition, the salt water solution makes the gums resistant to bacteria and pathogens and increases their strength. Experts believe that salt water prevents bacterial growth by reducing the acidity of the oral environment.
The salt water solution balances the pH in the mouth and can reduce inflammation and increase gum strength. By adjusting the pH, pathogens will not be able to grow in the oral environment, and as a result, the gums will become healthier and more resistant.
