Usually, it's quite difficult to diagnose burning mouth syndrome. The main reason for this is that the condition doesn't usually show physical symptoms. So if you have your mouth checked, your doctor or dentist might not "see" anything wrong. You may feel the different symptoms, but they won't show up in your mouth. If you describe your symptoms to your doctor, he may refer you to a specialist. These include dentists who specialize in oral medicine or surgery. Such specialists may be able to diagnose your condition as burning mouth syndrome.
