I woke up yesterday morning with the roof of my mouth swollen and my gums puffed up around my teeth. I went to bed the night before freshly brushed and with my mouth fine. So I have no idea why this happened. I want to know if using a salt water solution or a hydrogen peroxide solution would be best to clear this up. I know the peroxide bottle says it can be used for an oral rinse.
Advice greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ah, bet you’re not flossing! I’d go with the peroxide, the salt mostly just works on pain.
Both options would kill off bacteria… Both are safe to gargle with, but (I’m sure you know) they’re not safe to ingest. :0) I would go with the salt water personally, because the hydrogen peroxide will foam up in your mouth and leave a worse taste than the salt water. Listerine mouthwash is another excellent product to kill oral bacteria AND it’ll leave your breath fresh. :0)
peroxide.
You can also use it to whiten your teeth : rinse your mouth for 10 minutes everyday,three times daily
