What Is Burning Mouth Syndrome?
2. Secondary Burning Mouth Syndrome
The other type is secondary burning mouth syndrome. In these instances, the disease is caused by a medical condition that can be identified. This is beneficial in a sense because, in many cases, medical professionals will know how to treat the condition, albeit by treating the underlying cause.
Even in cases where the underlying causes cannot be cured, they can still often be treated to help limit the severity of the symptoms. Regardless of the cause, burning mouth syndrome is a condition that can be very uncomfortable for the patient. It can also go on to cause some potentially serious complications.
