Question:
Every now and then my gums itch, I have no idea why. Although I am in my late 30's, all my teeth are intact and I do not even have a filling. So as far as I know, I have no dental problem whatsoever,yet my gums itch every now and then. Could it be related to allergy or cold? ...Visitor from CO
Answer:
I have had patients describe this to me in the past. Each time I have had
someone describe a sensation like this I have found severe Periodontal
disease developing.
Gum disease or pyorrhea as some people call it can be treated if you catch it soon enough. Ask your dentist to evaluate you for this problem.
