Take a bag of fresh tea and soak in boiling water for up to 5 minutes, as you usually do when making tea. When the tea bag is cold enough to touch, attach it directly to the sick gum for at least 5 minutes.

Choose tea contains astringen in nature, such as black tea, green tea, or even shoe flower tea. Or choose tea containing anti-inflammatory sticks a popular example is ginger and camomil. Herbal anti-inflammatory will calm down, while tannin will absorb anything that irritates gums.

General pain relievers and NSAIDs, such asctions, acetaminophene (Tylenol), and ibuprofen (Advil) can help in an emergency. If the pain is stubborn and the topical method above (or others) doesn't work, try this option. You can use it yourself or as an addition to topical home care. For the number of doses, follow the instructions on the bottle label.
