Burning Mouth Syndrome

About Burning Mouth Syndrome

Burning mouth syndrome is painful and often dismissed, and many people, especially women around menopause, come to DrTalks looking for real answers. A burning tongue or mouth with nothing visibly wrong, changes in taste, nerve pain that flares with stress, and reactions to gluten are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the mouth. Burning mouth is tied to falling hormones, the nervous system, nutrient gaps, gut health, mast cells and viral reactivation. You'll find conversations on why women get dismissed, the gluten connection, mast cells and burning mouth, toning the vagus nerve, and how your gut affects pain. Dental and medical experts explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from nutrient levels to thyroid labs and a careful oral exam, and what helps, from hormone therapy and targeted vitamins to vagus nerve work, gut support and medication when it's needed.
