Shoppers with sore, tender and inflamed gums are praising an 83p-a-day serum that they say eases pain, bleeding and swelling quickly. MySweetSmile's Hyaluronic Gum Serum, normally £29.99 and now £24.99, is designed to soothe gum problems by deeply rehydrating the tissue.
The serum contains high-concentration Hyaluronic Acid, Xylitol and Panthenol, and has been described as 'like skincare, but for your gums', offering hydration for tissue that dries as we age. Each bottle provides a 30-day supply, meaning each daily use works out at around 83p.
How the serum is used
Application is simple and suited to those short on time. Users brush their teeth in the evening as usual, then massage one pump along the top gumline with a clean fingertip, followed by one pump along the bottom. The serum should be left to absorb for 2 minutes, after which any excess can be spat out, with no rinsing needed.
For those seeking teeth whitening, MySweetSmile also offers a powder priced at £24.99 (was £29.99), designed to lift yellowing from ageing, coffee, tea, wine and smoking. Elsewhere, Boots sells Corsodyl Medicated Antibacterial Mouthwash Alcohol Free 300ml for £5.80, which reduces the formation of dental plaque, while Superdrug stocks The Breath Co Healthy Gums Oral Rinse Mouthwash 500ml at £9.99.
Shopper reviews praise the serum
The product has gathered plenty of fans online. On Trustpilot, one reviewer said: "I have been using the Hyaluronic Gum Serum as I have been experiencing gum problems which I have had before in an area of cramped together wonky teeth! Haven't gone to a dentist as I know they will tell me to pay £60+ to see a hygienist! I bought this as it's vegan not expecting much as a last resort, and I have to say it has worked and is excellent! It has stopped the pain, the bleeding and the soreness and swelling!"
A second reviewer commented: "I am suffering with the growth of my wisdom teeth which makes my gums flare up. The MySweetSmile gum serum is amazing and helps soothe and decrease swelling. I also have receding gums over my crowns and within 7 days of use I am feeling much more confident and am sure this has reduced."
A third wrote: "The hyaluronic gum serum is fantastic. I had painful gums for weeks and this sorted it in 2 days." At Amazon, where the product is also sold, one buyer said: "Worked like a charm. I had somehow burned the insides of my lips and the gums. Tried everything I had in the house which is a LOT, and absolutely nothing touched the pain so I ordered this to try."
Mixed feedback from some users
Not all feedback is glowing, however. One buyer noted: "I don't have any complaints but I'm also not convinced it's actually doing anything helpful." Despite this, another user said: "This makes my gums feel so moisturised and mouth feels amazing." The serum is available to buy at MySweetSmile.
