Cold Compresses

"Wrap a few ice cubes in a clean washcloth and hold it against the outside of your cheek, near the sore gums, for 10 to 15 minutes," says Alexander Vaiman. You should repeat throughout the day.

Saltwater Rinse

"Swish the solution around in your mouth for about 30 seconds. Then, you can spit it out. Repeat two to three times a day, after meals and whenever your gums are bothering you," says Kevin Sands.

Aloe Vera Gel

"Apply a small amount of aloe vera gel directly to the affected gums using a clean finger or cotton swab." Leave on for two minutes.

Turmeric Paste

First, make a paste with some turmeric and water. "Apply it to the affected gums and leave it on for five to 10 minutes. Then, rinse thoroughly with water."
