5. Burning Sensation
The mouth is used to being kept moist so, if it becomes dry, the tissues inside can begin to experience unusual symptoms when not being kept cool. One of these is a burning sensation inside the mouth, and the tongue tends to feel it the most.
When there is not sufficient saliva present then the tongue can also become red and dry. In some cases, grooves will also appear on the surface of the tongue. The burning sensation is known as burning tongue syndrome, and it can be caused by a number of medical conditions, one of which is a dry mouth.
