Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Flavonoids are a diverse group of plant compounds known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Scientific research has increasingly explored their potential benefits for oral health, including the support of gum (periodontal) health. Several in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that flavonoids, particularly those from sources such as green tea, citrus fruits, and propolis, can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogens, reduce inflammatory responses in gingival tissues, and contribute to the maintenance of healthy gum tissue. For example, flavonoids like quercetin and catechins have demonstrated the ability to modulate inflammatory cytokines and protect against oxidative stress, both of which are relevant to periodontal disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, some clinical studies have indicated that the use of flavonoid-rich mouth rinses or topical gels may reduce gingival bleeding and plaque accumulation. However, the evidence is not uniformly strong, as clinical trials are often small, short-term, or focused on specific flavonoids rather than the broad category. While traditional medicine systems have sometimes used flavonoid-containing herbs for oral health, the current rationale for their use in supporting gum health is primarily based on accumulating scientific evidence, though more robust clinical research is still needed for definitive conclusions.
