Burning Mouth And Seniors. Dr. Waldron and Dr. Morgan 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. Waldron and Dr. Morgan know 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 Westport Plaza Dental Associates 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 Westport Plaza Dental Associates we can prescribe a
topical anti-fungal agent that can help the problem.
Call us at (816) 561-6150 for more information on how we can help you with
burning
mouth.
