PerioSciences can help patients with a variety of issues, including tissue healing after periodontal therapy, dry mouth, canker sores, and halitosis.
We carry four types of antioxidant mouthwash for those with sensitive gums to consider:
We developed each one in close consultation with the dentist community. And while each one is specially formulated to target a specific dental issue, they are all packed with naturally occurring antioxidants, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Rinse with one of these mouthwashes to remove any unhealthy build-up, and help improve your gum health - so you don’t have to stress about your mouth and can smile with confidence!
You can use our products for sensitive gums with our soothing dental gel. Minty and cooling, this aqueous gel reduces feelings of oral discomfort and promotes an improved appearance of your gums. Recommended by over 2600 dentists across the US, our oral care products are an effective way to take care of your teeth and gums.

Oral health should be just as important as your overall health and an essential part of your well-being. Your smile not only is the first thing that welcomes strangers or new acquaintances in, but it can also be a sign of other health problems.
Occasionally, when brushing or flossing your teeth, you may notice that your gums bleed a little bit. For most people, it is usually nothing. Maybe you were brushing a little harder than normal or you hadn’t flossed in a while.
While many people only consider using a mouth rinse as a way to freshen the breath, these products offer a lot more benefits. Together with brushing and flossing, mouth rinses ensure good oral hygiene and reduce the chances of gum disease, tartar, plaque and many other problems linked with poor oral health.
Sudden gum sensitivity can be caused by any of the following factors.
- Stress: When the body is under stress, it tries to regulate its response by releasing the stress hormone cortisol. However, a consequence of higher levels of cortisol is gum sensitivity. - Changes in your oral care routine: Sometimes using a new toothbrush with firmer bristles, or brushing and flossing longer and more vigorously than before, or swapping toothpastes for one with new ingredients can irritate your gums and make them more sensitive. - Hormonal changes: Puberty, pregnancy, menopause, or taking medications that influence hormone levels can lead to gum sensitivity. This is because an increase in the hormones estrogen and progesterone can increase the blood supply to the gums. - Gingivitis: The onset of gingivitis or gum disease, due to a buildup of plaque, can result in sensitive, swollen, or even bleeding gums - Dental procedures: Dental procedures, particularly whitening treatments, can cause temporary gum sensitivity. - Bruxism: Grinding your teeth, also known as bruxism, can contribute to sensitive gums.
Here are a few ways to alleviate and prevent gum sensitivity:
- Practice good oral hygiene by flossing and brushing your teeth twice daily after meals. Try to use a soft-bristle brush to avoid irritating your gums. - Use products specially formulated for sensitive gums. - Be mindful of your stress levels and try to take care of your physical and mental health. - Stop smoking or vaping, or limit how much you smoke, as that can aggravate gum sensitivity and contribute to gum disease. - See your dentist at least once a year for a check-up. If your gum sensitivity worsens, then consult a dentist as soon as you can.
