Yes, I would sincerely recommend to consult them..

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Welcome back

Under the best hands, oral SMF can be treated effectively. As the fibrosis has already involved the retromolar trigone causing restricted mouth opening, I would sincerely suggest you to consult them as soon as possible.

I wish you good luck and good health.
