Brush and floss: Your gingivitis wont get better solely by using an oral rinse. You need to actively brush and floss the areas several times a day to reduce the bacteria that is causing the gingivitis. The gums will be tender when you brush and floss and there may be increased bleeding, but in the next few days, the inflammation will go away and the gums will be tougher and less painful and irritated.

Gums-tooth abscess: This infection will not resolve on its own with home care. The most common type of dental abscess is a tooth, and the second most common is a gum or combination of both tooth-gum abscess. In order to get appropriate treatment it is important to know the underlying cause for this infection. Rec.: see your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment.

Gum disease: A mouth rinse does not remove the hardened bacteria on the roots of your teeth- the likely cause of the infection in the gum and bone that you are currently experiencing. Please see a dentist as soon as possible to determine the treatment necessary to resolve this problem.
