Crossword Genius

Inflame edge of gum and tooth (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

fang

bite

This clue is a quadruple definition!!

'inflame' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'edge' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' acts as a link.

'gum' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

'and' acts as a link.

'tooth' is the fourth definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for bite that I've seen before include "Get teeth into" , "Light meal" , "Nip; nibble" , "Grip with teeth" , "Mouthful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
