1st Trimester

Side effects of Progesterone? Teeth itching?

I started Progesterone about 3 days ago and not getting many side effects yet (thank goodness) but my front bottom teeth/jaw/gums/chin are really itchy and scratching/rubbing doesn't help.  It's like back when we had braces and due to teeth moving and nerves, there was a ticklish sensation that you could not get rid of.  I wondering if it's due to the progesterone now because I remember having my 1 yr pre-conception dental appt where my dentist mentioned additional possible dental risks when pregnant (like gum disease) since the hormones affect gum tissue very easily.  I'm hoping it wears off, but anyone TTC or in 1st trimester with this experience?
