Salt water properly mixed will reduce the bacteria in the oral cavity, the bacteria that causes gingivitis and/or periodontal disease.
Hi,
Salt water temporarily increases the PH balance in your mouth, creating an alkaline environment in which bacteria can not survive, because they favor a more acidic environment. Thus it helps clean bacteria in your mouth and fights infection.

Salt is treasure God gave to us. It can do many good things.
Salt water rinses act as an antiseptic, it reduces pain and inflammation. I would not recommend it regularly because it deshidrates as well
A saltwater rinse temporarily increases the pH balance of your mouth, which in turn creates an alkaline environment in which bacteria struggle to survive. Saltwater also has healing properties which is why it is often recommended to rinse with salt water 24 hours after minor dental surgery to help your mouth recover faster.
Hello,
Salt water rinse acts as isotonic solution, bringing the pH up and making the environment alkaline and hence rendering anti inflammatory and antiseptic effects.

Many believe using salt water oral rinse regularly can be a cheaper and more effective way of achieving good oral health. Some dentists believe that salt water is good to reduce inflammation after tooth extraction and for mouth sores. The salt cleans the area. Salt water appeared to increase the formation of proteins known to help attach cells together, known as adhesion. With each rinse, the cells made more of these proteins to ensure migrating cells would anchor themselves into the wound area and improve healing. It also cleans out food and kills some bacteria. Old remedy that works!!
Regularly gargling with salt water can assist in removing bacteria from the gums, which helps in cleaning and preventing the buildup of plaque and tartar. A buildup of bacteria in the mouth can lead to gum disease and tooth decay.
A salt water rinse is commonly used 24 hours after a tooth extraction to help keep an extraction site clean and soothe the gum tissue.

Salt water draws the abscess to the surface to promote drainage of the infection.
It reduces (kills) bacteria responsible for secondary infection. Helps keeping the site clean.
