Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease (periodontal disease) that causes irritation, redness and swelling (inflammation) of your gingiva, the part of your gum around the base of your teeth. It’s important to take gingivitis seriously and treat it promptly. Gingivitis can lead to much more serious gum disease called periodontitis and tooth loss.
The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. Good oral health habits, such as brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily and getting regular dental checkups, can help prevent and reverse gingivitis.
Mercurius is commonly used for inflammation of the gums that is accompanied by bleeding, bad breath (halitosis), and a foul taste in the mouth.
Key symptoms: Gums are swollen, red, and often bleed easily. There may be an unpleasant, foul odor from the mouth. The person may feel hot, sweaty, and have increased salivation. Often associated with ulceration or pus formation in the gums.
Arnica is beneficial when the gums are sore and inflamed, especially if they have been irritated by recent dental procedures, brushing, or trauma.
Key symptoms: Gums that are sore, bruised, or swollen, with a sensation of being tender or hurt. This remedy is particularly helpful if gingivitis is linked to physical trauma or dental work.
Calcium Fluoratum is indicated when there is looseness of the teeth, which can occur with gingivitis.
Key symptoms: Receding gums, teeth loosening, or a tendency for teeth to fall out. Gums may be swollen and the person may experience sensitivity or pain while eating or brushing.

Silicea is used when there are sensitive gums that bleed easily, often in individuals who tend to have poor skin and weak connective tissue.
