Possibly. These are pre cancerous changes sir. Oral submucous fibrosis it is known as. Your soft cheeks are becoming fibrous from inside due to use of guthka. You can start getting treated for it. Step 1. Doctor will take a biopsy and confirm stage of problem. Step 2. Treatment can start with intralesional injections. Consult a good oral medicine and radiology specialist in your hometown. Do not neglect.

Hello Lybrate user, by the symptoms you have written and with your habit of chewing beetle nut (gutkha) I can infer that you have a condition called oral sub mucous fibrosis. In such cases tissue of your cheek loses its elasticity and becomes fibrosed which is the reason for incomplete opening of mouth. This is not exactly a form of cancer but if the habit of chewing the gutkha continues it may turn into a lathal form of cancer. So you should completely stop the habit. The best person to judge and treat such cases is an oral pathologist. So find an oral pathologist as soon as possible and start undergoing the treatment.

Quit habits strictly. Seems like you have oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). Kindly consult an oral & maxillo facial surgeon in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need conservative or surgical management for mouth opening depending upon the stage of OSMF .Advise full mouth opening, ballooning exercise & side to side movement of the jaw. Wrap 25 to 30 ice-cream sticks, make a bundle, put it between upper & lower front teeth for 15 minutes thrice a day increase 1 sticks each day.

It seems to be Oral Submucous fibrosis, in this condition the mucosa of mouth becomes thick yellow rubbery and when it extends deeper in to muscles that open your mouth, leads to less mouth opening, First you have to stop the habit, no treatment will be effective after that. We have to first diagnose the extent of this condition, whether it s grade 1, 2,3 or 4 den I can prescribe the treatment.
