Along with the peroxide rinse, take lots of vitamin C (500 mg a day). Get the chewable kind and suck on them so the C goes right to the gums before you swallow them. I usually get 100 mg tabs and take them several times a day.

Hydrogen peroxide rinse works great for me! I might have to use it a few times, but it always takes care of my sore gums. I always rinse with plain water a couple of times after I do a rinse.
Use a soft toothbrush and brush your gums gently from top to bottom as well as your teeth (bottom to top for the lower jaw). Don't press too hard - you need to brush gums as well as teeth. In a very short time they should feel better and stop hurting.
You could have gingivitis. Check with a dentist.
As a former Dental Assistant... FLOSS,FLOSS, FLOSS! Or as we said in the office... "Just Floss the ones you wanna keep".
I have always found rinsing with warm salt water several times a day is helpful.
My dentist advises rinsing with equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water, twice daily. It has been a life saver for me.
I always brush my teeth with chloraseptic, instead of toothpaste when my gums are sore which happens once each month!
Also, peroxide is great but i can't stand the taste. There is a product called gly oxide, which is in a small bottle with a long tube at the top.
To read up on sore gums, do a Google search ...
medical + sore gums ... there are different sites you can check out.
Why would you ask a 'frugal' site about sore gums? This could be anything from tooth decay to leukaemia. See a doctor/dentist!

Your teeth could fall out if don't brush. Flossing is good for the spaces between your teeth. Mouthwash help keep the morning breath under control. See your dentist twice a year.
I need remedy for this kind of problem which I have, please.
You may be allergic to your toothpaste. My gums become sore if I use toothpaste with baking powder. A dab of Oil of oregano or sage oil might help the soreness.
