14. Turmeric Gel

Turmeric is well known for a host of purported health benefits, and preventing gingivitis is one of those. Studies show turmeric gel effectively prevents gingivitis and plaque build-up because of its antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties. It also reduces inflammation and helps treat bleeding gums. Apply turmeric gel, or curcumin — its active ingredient — directly to the gums daily.
