What Is Burning Mouth Syndrome?
10. Treating Secondary Burning Mouth Syndrome
If an underlying cause can be identified, then treating this cause may also treat secondary burning mouth syndrome. This will be very difficult to do in some cases, depending on what the underlying cause of the condition is. More fortunate patients will find that treating the cause is actually quite simple.
For example, if the underlying cause is determined to be a vitamin deficiency, then supplements will hopefully be enough to clear up the problem. In many cases, however, more intensive medication may be needed, and it may be all but impossible to treat the underlying cause in some cases.
