Yeast: Burning mouth can be troublesome to diagnose and treat. I have found yeast imbalance is a common source. I treat with anti fungal meds. I also have patients supplement daily with vitamin b complex.

A number of things: Many things cause burning sensation in the mouth, but the most common is a fungal infection ( thrush) it often comes on after antibiotic treatment. There is a neurologic condition known as burning mouth syndrome as well that can be tricky to diagnose and treat.
