Suggest Treatment For Widening The Opening Of Mouth
Its been more than 10 months, i have quit all my bad habbits. My mounth is opening 35mm wide and colour of internal mocousa is changing. My doctor added Absolut 3G capsule for last one month and continue anti allergy capsule atrax 10mg and amitop10 tablets. Looks like things are getting resolved, my question is: 1. do i need to go for laser treament to open my mouth wider? its already opening 35+MM or it will be better in future by the medicines i am taking. 2. I have already quit gutkha from last 10 months and 9 months under treatment of OSMF, will it eliminate all the probability of oral cancer in future ?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
OSMF Is a precancerous condition but if you have stopped gutkha and can maintain the mouth opening of 35mm plus ie: 3-4 fingers wide, then you may not go for laser treatment.
Chances of getting cancer in the future are also very low. But its best to have your vits. and continue with the yearly check ups with the dentist and oral exercises which I am certain you must be doing.
Hope this helps.
Regards
