While doing mouth opening exercise with ice cream stick, I realised my jaw is good and flexible but my cheeks are very tight (right side. I take 13 ice cream stick and put it right side and left side that?s when I realised this. Then I take up to 18 stick and put it in middle and hold for 5 min. Does it really helps? Yesterday I was able to put 14 stick at side and 18 sticks in middle but today morning it all went to 10-12 side and 13-15 sticks middle. Pls help my doctor is very arrogant and does?t answer my queries. Should I seek surgical way for mouth opening? My condition is osmf and I quit all habits. Will it resolve itself or not? Current medication: sm fibro & lycored tab both twice a day kenacort gel & lycored syrup twice a day (doc suggested 3 times but that?s a bit difficult) pls help contact: email

If mouth opening is not improving & if you are unable to eat, then opt for surgery.

Hey there, if you have been taking the medication for long and stick exercise is not helping then switch onto injections. They are more effective and you can continue with stick exercises and physiotherapy as directed by ypur dentist. Surgery is the last resort in severe cases of osmf. Send ypur photos if possible, will guide ypu best. For personal query use my doctor code gm2c5d.

Osmf sometimes requires surgical excision of the fibrous bands in severe cases and submucosal injection in moderate cases. Taking medication, mouth opening exercise performing and quit smoking can improve your conditions. If it is not improving, then visit your dentist for further opinion. Thank you.
