Beyond Burning Mouth Pattern: A Veiled Masquerading Oral Health Anxiety Concern.

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic oral pain condition characterized by a burning sensation in the absence of clinical lesions. This report discusses two cases where oral burning and anatomical variations led to severe oral health anxiety, cyberchondria, and psychiatric symptoms. Despite no clinical pathology, both patients developed carcinophobia due to misinterpretation and misinformation. Multidisciplinary management involving oral medicine, psychiatry, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) proved effective. The cases underscore the need for clinician awareness and psychological insight in managing psychogenic oral complaints.
