Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Chronic guthka chewing irritates and damages submucosal tissues, which lead to fibrous tissue deposits in this area, called oral
submucous fibrosis. This fibrous decreases opening of the mouth. As the disease progresses, the jaws become rigid to the point that the sufferer is unable to open his mouth.
Following are the steps helpful in treatment:
-Abstinence from spicy food, pan, gutkha,
smoking and alcohol.
-Maintaining proper oral hygiene
-Supplementing the diet with foods rich in
vitamins A, B complex, and C and iron
-
Surgical treatment is recommended in severe cases like Z Plasty.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
