What Is Burning Mouth Syndrome?
5. Risk Factors
Some people are more likely to have burning mouth syndrome than others. For example, women are more likely to develop it then men are. This is especially those that are approaching menopause or have just been through menopause. It is also more likely to affect people older than 50 years. Certain medical factors also make it more likely that some people will develop burning mouth syndrome.
This includes people with some allergies, while some medications can also be a contributing factor. Other causes include conditions like Parkinson’s disease, neurological disorders, and some autoimmune conditions. Stress, anxiety, and depression can also contribute to the condition.
