Turmeric is filled with antioxidants that can decrease oral irritation and inflammation, which are the root cause of most diseases including gingivitis and periodontitis. This rinse can ease symptoms while you improve your diet, begin taking oral probiotics and other supplements, and seek advice from a trusted dentist. Additionally, turmeric can help to reduces teeth stains while also preventing the production of plaque.
