No not at all
Hello,
Baking soda has many uses. It can be used to get rid of smells in your fridge, help, clean, stains with its abrasive nature, help with a sour stomach, when mixed with water in the right amount, and also help with bleeding or irritated gums. However, a gum abscess can be caused by many factors, including trauma to the gums, hormonal changes (i.e. pregnancy gingivitis), a tooth abscess, a bacterial infection, or a viral infection.. So bottom line is to check with your dentist before using baking soda. And remember- use caution because baking soda is very abrasive on teeth!

Unfortunately the only thing that will help if you have gum abscess is to get it evaluated, remove what’s causing the gum abscess and get antibiotics. A trip to your local dentist is the best solution and home remedies may mask the symptoms or make the problem worse.
