Burning Mouth Syndrome
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a chronic condition characterized by a burning, scalding, or tingling sensation in the mouth, persisting for at least four to six months without any identifiable underlying dental or medical cause, and can include symptoms such as dry mouth (xerostomia), paraesthesia, or altered taste or smell. Its causes may be linked to nerve damage (primary BMS) or secondary factors like medication allergies, hormonal changes, infections, or nutritional deficiencies.
