I have been chewing tobacco for the past 10 yrs. I am 45 years old. I went to a dentist and she told me that my mouth doesn't open because my cheeks have some bands and I am in a pre cancerous stage. What does that mean? How likely am I going to get cancer?

Please stop tobacco or supari immediately. Mostly you have submucosal Fibrosis. It is a pre malignant condition which leads to increased risk of getting mouth cancer Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.
