You can reverse gingivitis on your own by brushing and flossing regularly and gargling with mouthwash daily.

You should also see a dentist and have a professional dental cleaning done to prevent the gingivitis from getting worse.

You can also help reverse gingivitis by diluting 5 drops of lemongrass essential oil and 1 teaspoon of 75 percent of ethyl alcohol into 7 tablespoons of water.

Then swish the solution in your mouth for up to 30 seconds and repeat 2 to 3 times a day.

Gingivitis is a type of gum disease which causes your gums to become swollen, tender and inflamed.

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of periodontal disease and can also lead to more serious gum disease if it's left untreated.

Symptoms of gingivitis include.

Gums that appear shiny.

Mouth sores.

Bad breath.

Tender gums.

Gums that bleed easily, especially when you brush or floss.

And gums which are red, puffy or swollen.

Most cases of gingivitis are caused by tartar, plaque and bacteria that gets built up on the teeth.
