Question 4

could vitamin deficiency be the reason for my burning tongue and not being able to tast anything result from a vitamin deficiency?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Burning tongue syndrome or glossodynia is one of the more frustrating conditions in my practice.  There is no known cause or proven treatment.  I usually recommend a multivitamin because there are anecdotal reports of it being caused by a vitamin deficiency but this has never been proven.  Controlling acid and a blander type of diet seem to help some.  Good luck!

Question 5

middle of top lip keeps splitting. i stay very hydrated and have used different types of lip balms and nothing is helping. could a vitamin deficiency cause this?

Accepted Answer

: Cheilosis (cracked lip) often occurs at the mouth corner and it may be caused by vitamin B deficiency, especially B2 (riboflavin) but you have problem with upper lip at the middle and not improved with lip balms. There is no harm if you want to try vitamin B complex for a couple weeks as a trial. Cover your lips with a scarf when going out in cold weather, don't lick and avoid favored lip balms.

Question 6

is vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) and tongue pain caused by vitamin deficiency?

Accepted Answer

Tongue pain: The tongue pain can be muscular in nature and be a result of drug induced  tardive dyskinesia. This is a constant uncontrolled movement of the tongue. Adjustments to dose could possibly reduce the symptoms. Symptoms of a irritated burning tongue have been treated with lucine supplements with some success. Discussing this with your md and adjusting the vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) may provide some relief.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Sudden yellow: The tooth yellow does not result from vitamin deficiencies.  It is caused from surface layering of tobacco, tea, coffee, some foods, lack of brushing, etc.

Question 8

if you have a vitamin deficiency will it cause head parethesia or a head tingling sensation? if so what vitamin would you be deficient in?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin deficiency: Vitamin deficiency can cause neuropathy not particularly head tingling or paresthesia. Usually b12 and folic acid are reported with neuropathy symptoms.
You can try them but have it checked out, as this alone may not be the reason for it. Even if you take vitamins its not harmful

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Digestion: Also could be poor digestion.

Question 10

can teeth stains due to a vitamin deficiency be removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: If the stains are very light, then simple bleaching can improve, but not completly get rid of the problem.
If the stains are really dark and noticible, then you need some kind of veneer to cover them.
