I feel like my gums are burning and it hurts a lot. Why?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I do not have gingivitis or that sort of thing my gums are not bleeding, but they hurt and feel like I burnt them at times. My tounge tingles at times. My gums look a little inflamed, but they hurt, and some teeth hurt, but X-rays look fine. Also, behind my wisdom teeth, it burns but has not had dental work on them. I also have tingling lips and chin. What could it be?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The situation you mention is very close (and likely to be) burning mouth syndrome (BMS). However, some more details would confirm the diagnosis. It is often aggravated by pericoronitis, a soft tissue inflammation surrounding an erupting wisdom tooth. In BMS, it is better to avoid hot and spicy stuff and use gum astringent, and topical antibiotic with chlorhexidine. Also, look out for any ulcer that may be present. Use Betadine mouthwash and maintain good oral hygiene. See a dentist, and he will formulate a definite treatment plan for you. I hope it helps you.
