What Is Burning Mouth Syndrome?
7. Prevention
There is no known way to completely prevent cases of primary burning mouth syndrome. The condition can come on for no apparent reason and without warning. However, patients can take steps to help prevent the symptoms from becoming too uncomfortable for them. Some of the cases of secondary burning mouth syndrome can be prevented, however.
Preventing the secondary condition can be achieved by preventing the underlying cause where possible. For example, avoiding certain oral habits may prevent burning mouth syndrome from developing. Many of the underlying causes cannot be prevented, however, meaning that by extension, the syndrome can also not be prevented.
