Gingivitis is a condition that leaves the gums inflamed and tender. This leads to poor oral health, including gum infections and loosened teeth. The anti-inflammatory properties of bilberry help reduce swelling and inflammation in the gums. Bilberries also contain astringent and antibacterial compounds, both of which combat gingivitis. In studies, consumption of bilberries helped reduce gum inflammation and gingivitis symptoms.
