what causes mouth irritation
Common Causes of Mouth Pain. Most cases of mouth pain are due to mouth sores (aphthous ulcers), dental pain, trauma or of unknown origin (idiopathic). Mouth pain may occur in conditions that cause a dry mouth, like diabetes, Sjogrenâs syndrome and the use of certain of drugs.
The burning can also be caused by another oral health condition, such as oral thrush (a fungal infection in the mouth) or geographic tongue (tongue has a map-like appearance on its surface). Your dentist can diagnose and provide options to reduce the pain and discomfort.
