Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Salt water is one of the most commonly used remedies for oral problems. It neutralizes the mouth’s pH and soothes the inflamed gums (3). It also helps to alleviate the swelling with its anti-inflammatory properties.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since bacteria thrive in acidic environments and salt removes water from bacteria via osmosis, swishing with salt water can stop bacterial growth and reduce plaque and inflammation. This reduction in bacteria will reduce your likelihood of getting sick or developing a sore throat, bad breath, cavities, or gum disease.
