[|Human|] I had a root canal four days ago and some type of putty or cement was placed in my gum until the dentist can put the rod and crown in. My gum around the hardened putty or cement is super itchy. Its itchy to the point its keeping me up at night and making it hard to concentrate at work. Is this itchiness normal as it heals or should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hi... Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns... As per your complaint it seems that you are suffering from allergic reaction to any of the constituents present in the temporary filling material, and it is leading to inflammation and hardening of the gum in that area leading to itching and discomfort. You should consult your dentist and get the material replaced with other materials so that the itching relieves. As of now you can also take anti allergic like Levocetrizine for relief from itching.
