None: See a dentist to determine the cause of the inflamed gums and do not rely on any mouthwash to help.

None: Gum inflammation usually from bacterial (sometimes virus) infection, allergies, or trauma. Mouthwash is of little or no value. Please see your dentist to determine cause of the inflammation and best rx.
