    What is Burning mouth syndrome and what causes it?

    Dr. Robert H. Shmerling

    M.D. Senior Faculty Editor, Harvard Health Publishing · 30 years of exp

    Burning mouth syndrome is a condition in which a person experiences chronic, burning pain inside the mouth. While it may be mild, it may instead be severe and debilitating. Sometimes there is also numbness, dry mouth or an impaired sense of taste. The cause is unknown although a leading theory is that it is due to neuropathy (nerve disease). A thorough evaluation is appropriate to rule out other causes, such as an allergic reaction, an infection or iron deficiency.
