📋Overview
Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a chronic condition characterized by a burning sensation in the mouth without an identifiable medical or dental cause. It primarily affects the tongue, lips, palate, or entire oral mucosa. BMS is considered a neuropathic pain disorder and may be associated with sensory nerve dysfunction. It is a modern clinical term; no widely used legacy or eponymous names exist.
