Itchy Gums: Good day; May be stress related-- appropriate time to consult with clergy, pschologist, etc. Immediate relief can be achieved with a Benzocaine Gel- over the counter product, applied 4 times a day.

Gum problem: See Gum Specialist, a Periodontist, with year's more specialty training than a general dentist. May be from infection, systemic disease, neurologic disorder, allergic reaction, or other causes. Please see a Periodontist.
