Gingivalgia, pain in the gums, and gingivitis, inflammation of the gums, are because of an impingement on the twelfth pair of dorsal nerves, while hypercementosis, caries of the teeth, alveolar burrowing abscesses, toothache and gum boils are due to an impingement on the third pair of cervical nerves. Stomatitis can be relieved by removing pressure from off the right fifth dorsal nerve.
