Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doctor I recently went to a dentist for a checkup where i discovered i have leukoplakia in the far end of my cheek near the wisdom tooth on the right side Its been around 2 weeks since i quit smoking and i have been using nicotine gum to control the withdrawal. The dentist said its due to cross shaped teeth and the options would be to either removal of the tooth or a temprorary respite as in cleaning of the teeth.
My question is should i get the tooth removed? And do nicotine gums further leukoplakia?
