What Causes Burning Sensation At Roof Of Mouth After Having Braces?
Hi, the roof of my mouth has been burning ever since I got my braces put in, but i m not sure if one has to do with the other. Everytime i eat or drink something it burns and it feels as if the roof of my mouth is raw. What can i do to get it to stop burning ?

Hi,
Getting braces and the burning could / could not be connected. It could have been due to some food trauma as you might still be getting used to your new braces.In a similar scenario, I would advise my patients to stop eating any spicy food in the meantime, start with warm saline rinses 4-5 times a day. Apply topical mucopain gel or a similar formulation before having food. Try this for next 1 week and you should be fine.
