Burning mouth syndrome: An overlooked condition in the geriatric population

We began with our case study of John and his symptoms, which, as we can see now, may be diagnosed as burning mouth syndrome. If we were faced with the same symptoms, many conclusions could be reached if we did not know about BMS, and this will likely happen in your practice, but do not be discouraged. BMS is a gray area, one that needs further clarification and research before a definitive correlation between underlying cause and BMS is established.
