What Is Burning Mouth Syndrome?
3. Causes
As mentioned, the cause of primary burning mouth syndrome is unclear. It might be down to injury to the nerves in some cases. There are several potential causes of secondary burning mouth syndrome that can be identified, however. One of these is xerostomia, which is a dry mouth.
Some vitamin or mineral deficiencies can also be a cause of burning mouth syndrome, and some fungal infections can also be to blame. Some medications can also cause it, while some allergic reactions are another potential reason. Dental appliances are also sometimes to blame, and certain dental/oral practices can also cause a burning mouth.
