TMJ Treatments We Do

Burning Mouth Syndrome or Burning Tongue Syndrome (BMS) is a type of nerve pain which causes constant (or almost constant) burning pain in the mouth. It is unclear what causes this very difficult pain disorder; at times deficiency of Zinc or dry mouth can also lead to burning mouth syndrome. Burning mouth syndrome commonly affects females after menopause and can be accompanied with loss of taste along with the pain. Most tests including x-rays, and lab tests tend to come back normal in this condition.

BMS is usually a difficult problem to suffer from and treatment response tends to be unpredictable. Some patients require a few different treatment trials before finding something that works.
