Stop betel nut. Do warm and hot massages over the area. But you need to consult as to how much is your mouth opening and then we can suggest the right line of treatment.

Hello lybrate-user, Chewing gutkha or tobacco is not a good habit as it spoils the teeth and also, as in your case, restricts the opening of the mouth. First thing you should do is stop the habit. Then please consult a general dentist or a specialist as early as possible for a complete and thorough oral examination. There might be tests required before starting the treatment. The dentist would help in guiding your mouth back in normal position. Please do not delay the treatment. Thank you.

Surgeons charge depending upon extent and severity of the condition. However, I offer medicines which help you completely get rid of tobacco and stay away from it forever.-- without any side-effects. Surgery involves risk after some time. You may prefer exercises over surgery for long-lasting results. I personally provide these treatments. You can contact me for more details.

I am 23. I chewed gutkha and tobacco for five years but not consistently. I developed oral submucous fibrosis. Their are many whitish fibrous bands in my mouth and soft palate. My mouth opening is good and I already met ENT doctor many times and he said nothing to worry about. But the biggest problem is that I develop consistent mouth ulcers even I didn't chew gutkha right now. Doctor told me Whatever damage is done to my mouth will remain permanent but you should quit tobacco and I did the same thing as doctor said. But I'm getting mouth ulcers consistently and Whenever I eat anything it hurts my mouth due to trauma. My ENT specialist gave me Lycopene Tablets and Tess Buccal paste. I am currently using only Buccal paste but Still I keep getting mouth ulcers. This is my problem since one year. My mouth opening is good but most part of my inner mouth is damaged. I don't even posses the courage to watch my mouth in mirror. Although my ENT doctor said nothing to worry about and I'm just 23 but I've heard that oral submucous fibrosis has a risk of developing into cancer even after quitting tobacco. I'll be glad if you tell me the chances of getting cancer as I already stopped taking gutkha and tobacco products and How long it will take my mouth to heal completely since mouth ulcer is my problem since more than a year. Read less.
