For quite some time, the general public has gotten away from the effective herbal remedies earlier generations used. In recent history there has been a surge in interest about herbal remedies for gum disease and loose teeth. It’s come not a moment too soon either. There are several herbs and natural applications that are very effective for this purpose. Let’s take a look at some of the most common and how to use them safely and effectively to treat periodontal disease and repair receding gums.

• aloe
• clove
• Echinacea

Aloe Vera has been popular for a long time in treating sunburn and other minor skin irritations. While not revolutionary, the idea that it can be used to on the gums is new to most of us. Most dental disease results in sore, inflamed gums. Aloe is great for helping to heal the inflammation and other symptoms. To use aloe effectively, simply snip a leaf of the plant and apply the gel found on the inside of the leaf to the affected gum. If you don’t have an aloe plant, don’t worry. The same thing can be done with pure aloe vera gel from a bottle.

Many periodontal problems can be relieved with the use of cloves. Most of us think about cloves on our holiday hams, but this herb has other uses as well. Receding gums and gum disease often make the gums sore. Cloves have a natural topical anesthetic that is very good at relieving this discomfort. All you have to do to use it is apply some essential clove oil to the affected gums. It helps relief the pain and makes your life easier until you can get dental help.
