Burning mouth is a painful, frustrating condition often described as a scalding sensation in the tongue, lips, palate, or throughout the mouth. Burning mouth complaints are reported more often in women, especially after menopause.

Burning mouth often occurs with a range of medical and dental conditions, from nutritional deficiencies and menopause, to dry mouth and allergies. Their connection is unclear, and the exact cause of burning mouth cannot always be identified.

If you are experiencing burning mouth, contact your doctor or dental professional, as this may be a more serious condition known as Burning Mouth Syndrome, a painful disorder that causes chronic burning pain in your mouth.

When no underlying cause can be found, care is aimed at the symptoms to try to reduce the pain associated with burning mouth and tongue. The recommended The MEDActive® Oral Relief Protocol is used by leading hospitals and institutions across the United States to provide relief from oral discomfort associated with burning mouth and tongue.

What are the causes of burning mouth?

According to studies by Dr. Joel B. Epstein, conditions that have been reported in association with burning mouth include chronic anxiety or depression, various nutritional deficiencies, type 2 diabetes and changes in salivary function. However, these conditions have not been consistently linked with the syndrome, and their treatment has had little impact on burning mouth symptoms.

Some of the possible causes of burning mouth include:

• Dry mouth, which can be caused by many medicines and disorders, such as Sjögren's Syndrome or diabetes
• Oral thrush, a fungal infection in the mouth
• Menopause
• Damage to nerves that control pain and taste
• Hormonal changes
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Acid reflux
• Poorly-fitting dentures or allergies to denture materials
• Anxiety and depression

In some people, burning mouth may have more than one cause.

What can I do to help relieve the discomfort of burning mouth?

The MEDActive® Oral Relief Protocol is an effective regimen for relieving the oral discomfort associated with Burning Mouth/Tongue.

To relieve the discomfort associated with Burning Mouth/Tongue calls for:

• Cleaning
• Lubricating
• Moisturizing
• Protecting

MEDActive® Oral Relief Products are specially formulated to perform the four functions listed above while simultaneously enhancing saliva flow throughout the mouth and throat. Maintaining a clean, moist and well lubricated mouth serves to support good general health and enhanced quality of life.

Recommended Daily Oral Regimen for Burning Mouth/Tongue Relief:

Cleaning

STEP 1. Floss

Floss at least once a day to remove debris and plaque from between teeth. Rinse mouth with water after flossing.

STEP 2. Brush

Brush teeth and gums with a soft bristle toothbrush at least twice daily. Thoroughly clean your toothbrush with hot water after each use. Replace toothbrush at least every three months or until bristles are frayed.

STEP 3. Rinse

Using MEDActive® Oral Relief Rinse, apply about half of the rinse for at least 60 seconds. Swish rinse over all mouth surfaces to make contact with teeth, gums, tongue, and palette. Gently gargle for 10-15 seconds with remaining half. Expectorate (Spit). For optimal effectiveness, tilt head back while gargling to reach back of the throat. Note: Do not eat or drink for at least 15 minutes after rinsing. Use the rinse once daily, just prior to retiring at night.

Lubricating

STEP 4. Spray

Use MEDActive® Oral Relief Spray as needed throughout the day. Apply 3-4 sprays on tongue; swish vigorously to cover all mouth surfaces. Note: Avoid food and drinks for at least 10 minutes after use.

Moisturizing

STEP 5. Lozenges

Recommended Use: Up to 8 MEDActive® Oral Relief Lozenges per day. For optimal effectiveness in enhancing saliva, eventually move lozenge under the tongue. Note: Avoid drinks for at least 15 minutes after use.

Protecting

• Once symptoms have subsided, continue flossing and rinsing daily, preferably just before retiring at night.
• Brush at least twice a day.
• Supplement daily rinsing and flossing with spray and lozenges as required throughout the day. Preferably use the spray after meals, snacks, and coffee breaks.
• Schedule regular visits with your dental professional for cleanings and exams. If you notice any signs or symptoms that may suggest oral health problems, contact your doctor and/or dental professional.

Other Considerations

• Avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes, as these will make your mouth drier.
• Avoid candy, gum, and soda unless they are sugar-free.
• Avoid spicy or acidic foods, toothpicks, tobacco products, and alcohol.
• Keep the appointment schedule recommended by your doctor and/or dental professional.
• Notify your doctor and/or dental professional about any changes in your oral health.

Remember, Burning mouth/tongue is a serious oral condition that causes inevitable downstream damage to the teeth and the soft tissue in the mouth. It can also negatively impact the body's ability to deal with other serious health issues and significantly impact quality of life. Persons classified as "At-Risk" or "High-Risk" because of age, occupation, environmental or health factors should pay very special attention to the mouth's care and condition. MEDActive® Oral Relief Products and Protocols provide safe and highly effective tools to clean, lubricate, moisten and protect.
