title: Oral lesions as a cause of glossodynia.
abstract: A number of oral lesions may be responsible for the symptoms of glossodynia. A thorough examination of the tongue and the mouth is of paramount importance to eliminate specific oral manifestations that may result in a burning or painful tongue. Ultimately, this may require consultation with an oral diagnostician for a definitive diagnosis.
