I used to consume tobacco products but i've decided to quit. Now I think my tongue has reduced it's length. I barely crosses front teeth. Can I do something to increase its length? Preferably non surgical way and since i've quit using tobacco products how long will it take my mouth to recover fully?

Hello dear, please donot worry. I am happy that you want to stop tobacco chewing. See size of tongue does not decrease due to tobacco but necrosis could start and even age related changes could be there. For good recovery there is nrt therapy or nicotine replacement therapy along with oral health care. For more information please contact me. My code is bj6e1e regards.
