Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this problem you have with your mouth. In medical terms, this is referred to as burning mouth syndrome. A majority of cases really have no known cause and are termed primary. However, factors like vitamin deficiency, stress, allergy, acid reflux, etc may also cause this(secondary).
The best thing to do is to get evaluated by your doctor. If any possible cause is found, you would be treated accordingly. If no cause is identified, which is what happens in a majority of clients, measures to help ease the discomfort would be advised. These include drinking enough water to stay hydrated, avoiding spicy foods, no alcohol, no tobacco, etc. Try mild flavored foods/toothpaste and measures to relief yourself of stress if that be the case with you as it is a known provoking and aggravating factor.
Treatment is not often successful. However we keep trying every possible measure hoping to find something that helps. I will direct you to do some more concise reading from a trusted page and get to me with if you have any unanswered questions.
