Are Itching Gums a Cause for Concern?
Itchy gums can have many causes and, in the vast majority of cases, are a minor irritation and nothing to worry about. However, if the problem persists it would be wise to consult your dentist as to a possible underlying condition that may require attention. Itchy gums generally clear up quickly but attention should be paid if:
– Gums become red and inflamed
– Swelling or aches develop
– Gums bleed regularly
Healthy gums are vital for healthy teeth and itching gums can be an indication of problems and you “should visit a dentist if symptoms persist”. Further information can be found at https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319565.php.
