I used to chew tobacco ,gutka and bar (tobacco and area nut) for almost 10 years. Now my mouth won?t open more than 1 1/2 fingers. I?m worried! I quit chewing everything but how can I make my mouth open wide as normal people and inside mouth is kinda white. Help! I consulted a doc he prescribed kenacort gel, lycored tabs and syrup, sm fibro tabs. I kinda don?t trust him so I did?t take medication can you help me? And is there any exercise to do to help open my mouth? Will it heal itself? If you know anyone in aurangabad maharashtra do let me know.

The treatment provide by the dentist is correct. Your condition is osmf. Try to follow the dentist treatment. But it will be slow. Don't expect the mout to open in a day or week. It will take months to recover. Thats the cost one has to pay for the habits. Other treatment is laser. The muscles and tissue can be relieved with the lasers (a painless and bloodless or minimal blood treatment). This can provide faster recovery than the non surgical treatment. Lastly, congrats on quitting the habit and please explain the effects of the same to your friends and known persons and motivate them to quit the habit.
