What Is Burning Mouth Syndrome?
4. Symptoms
As the name suggests, people with burning mouth syndrome will typically experience a burning sensation in their mouths. It will usually affect the tongue, but it can also affect other parts such as the gums, lips, palate, and throat. It will burn the entire mouth for some patients.
In addition to the burning sensation, patients will also sometimes experience numbness or tingling.
A dry mouth is also common, and patients will often feel thirsty more often than usual. Some patient will find there is little pain in the morning only for it to get worse through the day. Some will find it comes and goes, while for others it will be burning all day long.
