Menopause and Burning Mouth Syndrome

When menopause hits, your mouth can get as hot as your flashes!  


Called burning-mouth syndrome, this condition can be caused by a drop in estrogen. Your lips, palate, gums and tongue feel as if you've burned them on a hot drink - except the sensation doesn't subside. 


See your dentist to discuss options if this occurs.

  1. With so numerous possible causes, you may not be able to determine the origin of burning mouth syndrome on your own. But don't let that take the spark out of your step dentists can help diagnose Burning Mouth Syndrome Causes and Treatments! After discussing possible causes, your dentist will check for oral problems that contribute to burning mouth.
