Is Apple Cider Vinegar Good for Periodontitis?


Posted on 7/1/2024 by Scholes Periodontics & Implants
Mouthwash on a counterIf your gums are swollen and they tend to bleed when you brush or floss, you are most likely suffering from periodontitis. This inflammatory disease is associated with the presence of harmful bacteria in the mouth. Apple cider is good for periodontitis because it acts as a preventative measure against bacterial infection. It also helps to balance the pH in your mouth. Your mouth becomes more acidic, which makes it impossible for bacteria to thrive. As a result, you are not at risk of developing periodontitis. Other benefits of apple cider for your teeth include:

Remedy for Toothache


Apple cider is something you can easily access at home when you need an immediate remedy for a bothersome toothache. Whenever you perceive the onset of a toothache, mix two or three teaspoons of it with some water and swish it in your mouth. Apple cider reduces toothache by killing bacteria, which then reduces the progression of tooth infection, pain, and gum inflammation. However, you still need to see your dentist to ascertain the cause of the toothache in the first place.

Prevents Gingivitis


Gingivitis is a common dental problem that manifests as swollen and bleeding gums. The infection can also cause a foul smell to emanate from your mouth. Regular use of apple cider can prevent gingivitis, which prevents gum disease. Apple cider is acidic in nature, and that acidity prevents the growth and the accumulation of bacteria between the teeth and gums.

Natural Mouthwash


More often than not, it is recommended to use mouthwash as a protective means to prevent dental infections. Apple cider has qualities similar to those of regular mouthwash, and using it regularly will prevent harmful bacteria from entering the mouth. Apple cider, if used sparingly and correctly, is also considered a good choice because it kills only the bad bacteria while leaving the good bacteria.

Visit Your Dentist for Professional Help


Apple cider vinegar is a solution that gets in between the teeth to kill harmful bacteria while preventing the accumulation of dental plaque. However, you still need to visit your dentist to check your teeth regularly and ensure there are no issues of concern.
