7. You Feel: A Burning Sensation
Possible meaning: Toothpaste irritation or burning mouth syndrome
If your tongue burns but looks normal, you could be reacting to an ingredient like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) found in many toothpastes.
Burning mouth syndrome can also be related to hormonal changes—especially during menopause—and is more common in women. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
