Are Itching Gums a Cause for Concern?

teeth health smile dentistItchy 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.

Dr. Kishanie Wijesinghe Little BDS

Dr. Kishanie Little is passionate about delivering excellent dentistry and dental restorations that are life-like and indistinguishable from natural teeth. She believes that restorations (fillings/crowns/veneers) should look beautiful – and that they should last. Dr. Little keeps abreast of new developments in restorative dentistry through post-graduate training.

Dr. Little is also an experienced Facial Aesthetistician, including Botulinum toxins (such as Botox) and Dermafillers. She appreciates how simple and subtle changes to smooth and relax muscles can “freshen” a face, to look younger.

In her personal time, she loves to cook, read, run, practice yoga and pilates, play a bad game of tennis and am now learning to play golf. She loves Art and Theatre and support the Tate Modern. She also enjoys writing and has a book in the works.
