Itchy gums are annoying but can easily be soothed once the root cause is determined.

Key takeaways:
– Itchy gums can be caused by many different things ranging from allergies, hormones, viral infections, wisdom teeth eruption or simply poor dental hygiene
– Short-term mild itching of the gums can be soothed by rinsing with mouthwash, avoiding a dry mouth and ensuring your teeth are thoroughly cleaned
– If your symptoms persist make sure you see your dentist to find out the exact cause

“Drinking plenty of water throughout the day should quickly stop gums itching.”
