See a dentist for bleeding, swollen, receding, or painful gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or any signs of gum disease, since pyorrhoea (periodontitis) needs proper dental treatment and can worsen if neglected. Regular dental check-ups and cleaning are important. Ayurvedic herbs and habits support everyday gum care and freshness, but they are not a treatment for gum disease, which a dentist should diagnose and manage.
-
Gentle herbal tooth powders, oils, and gum products are generally well tolerated and suit daily use, though strongly flavoured products may be intense for some. Use age-appropriate products for children, and patch-test if you have sensitivities. These products support everyday oral hygiene and gum care; for any signs of gum disease or dental problems, see a dentist, since proper treatment matters most.
