In life, many friends suffer from itchy gums. Some people even have recurring symptoms after treatment. In response to this situation, many people want to know what causes itchy gums. The following article will explain it in detail.

What causes itchy gums? There are many reasons for itchy gums. On the one hand, it is caused by local factors in the oral cavity, such as gingivitis. Gingivitis is one of the factors that cause itchy gums. To be more precise, it should be interdental papillitis, which is the inflammation of the gums between two adjacent teeth. The early symptoms are itching. You will feel better if you tighten your teeth, or use a toothpick to clean the inflamed gap between teeth. If you bleed a little, you will feel better. When the inflammation gradually worsens, biting pain will occur, which is prone to recurring. The main cause is local food impaction. If the food impaction is not removed, the pain will recur. The effective way to eliminate impaction (tooth gap) is full crown restoration (cast steel crown and porcelain crown).

In addition, another cause of itchy gums is bleeding gums due to systemic diseases, such as anemia, leukemia, etc. Itchy gums are mostly due to unclean oral cavity, which causes food residues, plaque, and tartar to accumulate around the teeth. Various bacteria in the oral cavity multiply here in large numbers, leading to gingivitis and bleeding gums, and patients often have bad breath. In addition, other gum diseases such as gingival tumors can also cause bleeding due to the abnormally rich blood vessels. When chewing, the tumors may rupture due to friction.

Systemic factors can also cause itchy gums. The amount of bleeding is generally large, often spontaneous and widespread, and cannot stop on its own. There are no obvious local irritants in the mouth. The oral mucosa and gums may have varying degrees of color abnormalities and characteristic organic changes.
