Hello!
Beetel nuts/areca nuts and lime are potential irritants to the oral mucous membrane.They cause fibrosis of the cheek.
This can cause a precancerous conditions and cancer at times. This will also reduce the mouth opening.
This can cause dental decay,teeth stains, cardiac problems, gum diseases etc.
Please QUIT any chewing habits and follow a healthy life style.
