A : A board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, in addition to an ent, would be a good choice since they can evaluate issues within the mouth and upper throat. Burning mouth syndrome is usually due to issues within the oral cavity, but discomfort can extend down the throat. You also have to rule out gastric reflux as a source of your problem.

Usually : Usually when you get past the tongue, you consider an ent. Tongue forward would normally be a dentist, and since you are really both, either one is a good start.
