Burning Mouth And Seniors.  Dr. Papich-Forsyth Can Help!
 

Burning mouth usually occurs in individuals over 50, but can affect others as well. There are several reasons why it occurs.

Denture problems: a new denture, or one that doesn't fit well, can irritate your entire mouth.

Reduced salivary gland function: Dr. Papich-Forsyth knows that this will cause the mouth to become dry, inviting oral discomfort, difficulty eating or swallowing, loss of taste, and a burning mouth.  Salivary gland dysfunction sometimes comes with age.  But there are saliva substitutes and rinses at Maria Papich-Forsyth DDS that we can prescribe to protect your oral tissues, and soothe burning sensations.

Medications: these often dry the mouth (side effects).

Vitamin deficiency: there is some evidence linking burning mouth syndrome to Vitamin B deficiency.

Candida infections: this is a common oral fungus, usually apparent to the eye but sometimes undetectable.  At Maria Papich-Forsyth DDS we can prescribe a topical anti-fungal agent that can help the problem.
