Finding Relief from Burning Mouth Syndrome
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition, impacting your daily life and oral health. At Healthodontic, we understand the challenges posed by BMS and offer comprehensive treatments to alleviate symptoms and restore comfort to your mouth.
Burning mouth syndrome is characterized by a persistent burning or tingling sensation in the mouth, often affecting the tongue, lips, gums, and palate. This condition can be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, oral infections, and psychological factors like stress or anxiety.
Our experienced dental team begins by conducting a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your burning mouth symptoms. Treatment options at Healthodontic may include:
- Medications: Depending on the cause of BMS, we may prescribe medications such as antifungals, antidepressants, or pain relievers to alleviate discomfort and manage symptoms.
- Oral rinses: We may recommend special oral rinses or mouthwashes to soothe irritation and promote healing of oral tissues.
- Lifestyle modifications: Making changes to your diet, managing stress levels, and avoiding irritants like spicy foods or alcohol can help reduce burning mouth symptoms.
- Oral hygiene instructions: Proper oral hygiene practices can help maintain oral health and alleviate symptoms of BMS.
