Specializes in Dentistry

Burning mouth sndrom: You should check with your dentist first to make sure there is no oral disease causing burning mouth syndrome. Your dentist can then recommend some treatment methods. You should also check with your physician to see if there are any underlying medical causes such as allergies, acid reflux, nutritional deficiencies, endocrine disorders. This is often very difficult to find cause and treat.

See a dentist first: This can be something simple or something difficult to diagnose. Your dentist can evaluate you and recommend some treatment alternatives. If necessary, he will refer you to a doctor to see if there are any systemic causes, such as vitamin deficiency or side effects of medication you may be taking.
