Description

Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a condition characterized by a persistent burning sensation in the tongue, lips, gums, or entire mouth, often without an identifiable cause. It is associated with nerve dysfunction, hormonal changes, or deficiencies in vitamins like B12. Treatment options include: 1. Saliva substitutes or specialized mouthwashes to alleviate dry mouth symptoms. 2. Nutritional supplementation for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. 3. Neuropathic pain medications to regulate nerve sensitivity. 4. Behavioral therapy and stress management techniques to reduce flare-ups.
