Understanding and Addressing Burning Mouth Syndrome in Wallingford, CT
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS), also known as glossodynia, causes discomforting sensations of heat or pain in the mouth. Though commonly felt on the tongue, BMS can also affect other areas like the lips, roof, and floor of the mouth. Despite its prevalence, with up to 15 percent of people experiencing symptoms, continuous burning is reported by less than one percent, often observed more in females and middle-aged or older individuals, despite a seemingly normal oral cavity appearance.
