Itchy gums are, generally speaking, nothing to worry about. An allergic reaction is the most common cause but, occasionally, itchy gums may be an early sign of more serious problems with the teeth such as the onset of gum disease. A good dental hygiene routine will help avoid itchy gums but there are a few simple steps that can be taken should the problem arise.
– Rinse mouth with saltwater
– Use antibacterial mouthwash
– Try antihistamine medications
Should the problem persist, or if the gums bleed, it could be a “sign of an underlying concern a dentist should check” and further information can be found at https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319565.php
