Re: Sore tongue & BMS
Hi to anyone suffering from Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). Can any dental experts tell me why symptoms are often flared up (and often caused in the first place) by dental treatment. Is it fillings, injections, nerve damage, amalgam (or their removal) etc? I am having 2 bottom fillings (teeth, that is!) this afternoon and I'm dreading another flare as a result.
Thank you

Hi Seldon Billy & Control your Dog,
I suffer from a sore tongue & Burning mouth Syndrome.
It is not known what causes BMS, it can be stress related, definitely is with me, it can effect the whole of your mouth, lips, cheeks, gums and mostly tongue.
The best treatment I have found for it sounds crazy, but it does work.
Put 2 drops of Tabasco sauce onto a teaspoon full of water, swish it round your mouth for a few seconds, spit it out but dont rinse. It burns a bit, but settles down quickly. I do this 2/3 times a day when I am suffering.
Hope this helps
Leggy.
