Hydrogen Peroxide
Studies show that rinsing your mouth with a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide may help relieve sore, red, or swollen gums. [5] Follow these steps to use hydrogen peroxide as a natural remedy for receding gums:
- Combine 1/4 cup of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide with 1/4 cup of water.
- Swish the mixture around your mouth for about 30 seconds.
- Spit the rinse out — don’t swallow it.
- Repeat this two to three times a week.
