Hi All,
I am new to the board so not sure how best to post new thread. I have suffered from a sore tongue since I visited my dentist last September. I have since seen him 6 times, had a crown put on one tooth, I have seen an ENT once and 2 different Oral Surgeons. I have tried 5 different medications, including neurontin, amitryptilline, kenalog in orabase, magic mouthwash, and fluocinonide gel. I just started using an over the counter mouth wash, toothpaste and dry mouth gel. I am at wits end with the awful and very localized pain. It gets worse as the day goes on and wakes me up at night. My most recent oral surgeon thinks it is something called burning mouth syndrome and I am going to see another specialist (it is taking a month to get an appointment) in the hope of getting some relief. Has anyone on this forum ever been cured of this?
Thanks for any help you might be able to offer me!
