Itchy teeth can be the result of gum disease. These are quite unpleasant symptoms that lead to a feeling of “scratching” of the teeth. What can cause inflammation and how can it be eliminated at home?

Causes of itching
Inflammation and itching can be either a symptom of a serious illness or a normal reaction of the body to a variety of external stimuli. A common cold or prolonged stress can also cause an unpleasant sensation on the gums.
Do not rush to run to the dentist, but do an examination in front of the mirror. If you do not notice any serious changes, your teeth do not bleed, do not turn yellow, and no inflammation has appeared on the walls of your mouth, you can try to get rid of the itching yourself. There are many folk ways to fix the problem. Of course, if this does not help you, you need to see a doctor. By the way, you should also be alerted by bad breath.
So, before moving on to treatment recipes, let’s try to figure out the possible causes. They can hide in anything. For example, an overly hard toothbrush or toothpaste may not work for you. Analyze this and select the appropriate brush. It is also not recommended to save on toothpaste — choose with herbs and medicinal components that carefully care for the gums.
Stress at work and at home can cause your gums to “rebel”. For example, if you suffer from neuroses. Calm down and analyze your behavior. It is necessary to establish a sleep pattern and make peace with loved ones. But sometimes the reason can lie even in a cold — the body cannot cope with stress and even the gums will itch (since they are very sensitive to bacteria and changes in the state of saliva). Therefore, a cold, runny nose — all this is the root cause of itching.

Aloe juice relieves inflammation from the gums
Treating itchy gums at home can be quite effective. Rinses with herbal extracts, water with the addition of soda or salt, as well as rinsing the gums with aloe juice, help very well. It should be noted that aloe juice really effectively soothes the gums from the very first application. You can also rub the juice directly into the gums or soak cotton wool in gauze with aloe juice and make compresses for the gums. The only negative of this procedure is that aloe juice is rather bitter in taste.
It is advisable to rinse the oral cavity one hour before meals and immediately after meals. Thus, you will not give bacteria the opportunity to multiply along with food debris. Decoctions of chamomile, calendula, yarrow and sage are a great option for treating inflammation in the mouth. If you do not have time to make decoctions, use special gels for gums. that relieve inflammation and itching. The main thing in this situation is not to let things take their course and not to endure. Also review your diet — it may not have enough vitamin C. Health to you!
