What is Burning Mouth Syndrome?
Diagnosing Burning Mouth Syndrome can be a lengthy and frustrating process, often involving visits to multiple specialists such as dentists, oral surgeons, and ear, nose, and throat doctors, as well as allergy and internal medicine practitioners. This complexity arises because the symptoms can mimic various other conditions, leading patients to seek help from a wide array of health professionals, including alternative health practitioners.
Compounding the difficulty of diagnosis are misconceptions about the syndrome, with some scientific articles suggesting it’s psychological, attributing the pain to anxiety, depression, or even cancer phobia. In this series of articles and videos, Dr. Sklar addresses these misconceptions, emphasizing that Burning Mouth Syndrome is a legitimate physical condition with real solutions.
