About two months ago, after a root canal treatment, I started feeling burning sensation in my mouth. It starts in the morning and becomes severe in the evening. There are times that the tip of my tongue becomes numb. I noticed that I am beginning to lose my sense of taste. I also suffer from lack of saliva which causes my mouth to become dry. It's becoming worse as days go by. Any idea what's causing all these? Will I ever regain my sense of taste? How can I get rid of the burning feeling in my mouth? Please help!

Hi!
You could be suffering from burning mouth syndrome. A nerve that control pain and taste may have been damaged. You should see your doctor or dentist as soon as possible.
