Tooth itching should be treated by maintaining good hygiene and using medications. It may be caused by bacterial or viral infections, requiring desensitization therapy. Personal hygiene should be carefully maintained, and spicy, irritating, overly cold, or hot foods should be avoided to prevent damage to the teeth. Laser teeth cleaning can be performed at a dental clinic. Alternatively, if caused by oral diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis, local irrigation with sodium bicarbonate solution, hydrogen peroxide, or chlorhexidine solution may be used.
