There are numerous causes of burning tongue including, but not limited to the following:
* Yeast and other infections
* Blood diseases
* Nutritional deficiencies
* Hormonal imbalances
* Nerve injuries
* Reflux of stomach acid
* Tumors (rarely)
* Reactions to Medications
If burning or changes in taste are your only symptom, we are of the opinion that you should see a specialist in Oral Medicine. They can be found by calling a local dental school or through the Yellow Pages by looking in the section which lists “Dentistsâ€.
However, studies suggest that approximately 75% of people who report burning tongue (glossodynia) or “Burning Mouth Syndrome†also suffer from headaches, face pain, and other muscle and joint related conditions which we treat. Interestingly, burning and painful tongue and burning mouth are almost always the first symptoms to go away.
ACCEPTING PATIENTS FOR TREATMENT OF:
Headaches• Pain in the Head, Face, Jaw, TMJ, Eye, and Ear • Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus )• Dizziness • Pressure in the Ears • Blurry Vision (which comes and goes) • Frequent Sore Throats • Difficulty Swallowing • Sensation of an Object Stuck in the Throat • Burning Tongue • Sleep Apnea
