I have been chewing tobacco since the last 15 years. I can't open my mouth more than an inch. Please could you suggest some medicine. Thanks.

Hello mam, your condition is called osmf and as you are well aware, it is caused by prolonged use of tobacco. The condition has to be evaluated and it can be treated by use of lasers to loosen the leather like skin in the mouth. We can also prescribe certain medication to help you recover from the damages. But definitely it is curable and you must stop all intake of tobacco first and then consult us.

Please kindly stop the habit of chewing tobacco and start with mouth exercises. Get an appointment with a dentist.
