why does salt water help in healing mouth ulcers or any oral surgery with tear in gums or cuts inside cheeks
In: 8021
From my understanding (and I’m no expert) the mouth will heal rapidly anyway because it’s a survival thing – we need to be able to eat – so the mouth has a huge amount of blood vessels to bring the healing white blood cells to the area.
The salt water is just to keep the wound clean, it acts like an anti-bacterial.
