Be seen: Any sensation like burning that does not go away deserves an evaluation. I would look for evidence of infections, irritations, or even early mouth cancers. Some things increase your risk, such as tobacco use (smoking and smokeless), diabetes, medications, oral hygiene and so on. Good oral health is critical for overall health, so let someone look inside!

Several things: Commonly candida, or yeast, can cause burning in the mouth, which can arise after antibiotic treatment. A more obscure disorder, called burning mouth syndrome, is harder to diagnose. This would require consulting an oral pathologist or a dentist specializing in oral medicine.

See your dentist now: It is not normal and needs to be diagnosed carefully. We need to know more information to be able to discover why you have this response. Is is due to recent treatment, and new appliance, and change of diet, new medication? Any one of these and more may be a cause.
