Itchy Gingiva: Your surgical sites are healing and may feel "itchy". In addition, if you haven't been brushing your teeth adequately in these areas due to the wounds they might be slightly inflamed. Once the areas heal and you can brush and floss thoroughly, your issues should resolve on their own. If not, please see your oral surgeon or dentist.
