Burning Mouth Syndrome

Burning Mouth Syndrome is most often noted in women during menopause, but the condition may accompany other conditions. These include anxiety and depression, type 2 diabetes, nutritional deficiencies (B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid & iron). It's not certain that these conditions cause the affliction. Mild strokes may also be responsible. Recent studies have indicated changes in the brain may be linked to Burning Mouth Syndrome.

Many patients with Burning Mouth Syndrome exhibit other oral complaints, as well. The patient may also notice dryness and changes in how certain food taste.

Certain medications, including some anti-depressents, may be effective as a treatment.
