		The cause of burning mouth in seniors 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. Lichter knows 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 Derek M Lichter, DDS 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 Derek M Lichter, DDS we can prescribe a topical anti-fungal agent that can help the problem. Call us at 619 422-5317 for more information on how we can help you with burning mouth.
