Burning mouth syndrome or BMS is a sensation in the mouth that feels like you just have been scalded with hot water. Together with this uneasy feeling, dryness and alteration in tastes can occur. The burning feeling can be localized in one area or all throughout the mouth. The feeling of discomfort may cause anxiety and depression. Women at age when they get to menopause are most common people with this syndrome. The cause of burning mouth syndrome is usually hard to determine.
