Burning mouth02/18/2008 |
I have read about Burning mouth syndrome, however, I am not sure if it burns all the time or when certain foods are eaten. I feel the numbness around my inner lips most of the time, but I don`t get the burning until I eat. To brush my teeth with toothpaste hurts lips and tongue. My question would be Does it have the burning sensation all the time? Thanks
Patients with burning mouth syndrome describe wide variations in their symptoms. Most do not report that their symptoms are initiated or caused by foods or habits, but these things may worsen or aggravate uncomfortable or burning sensations in the areas they contact.The best way to confirm a diagnosis of burning mouth syndrome is to have a dentist or dental specialist examine the areas that "burn" (in your case the lips and the tongue) to be sure there is no visible sign of abnormality.
Good luck!
