Expert Care for a Serious Oral Condition
Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a progressive condition that affects the soft tissues of the mouth, leading to stiffness, reduced mouth opening, and discomfort. If left untreated, it can result in severe oral health complications and even increase the risk of oral cancer. At KJS Dental Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and treating OSMF with advanced and patient-centric solutions.
Signs and Symptoms of OSMF
- Burning sensation in the mouth, especially after consuming spicy foods
- Stiffness and reduced mobility of the tongue and cheeks
- Difficulty in opening the mouth or speaking clearly
- White or reddish patches inside the mouth
- Thickening and tightening of oral tissues
- Dryness and decreased salivation
Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach
At KJS Dental Hospital, we offer a multi-faceted approach to treating OSMF, tailored to each patient's needs:
1. Lifestyle and Habit Modification
The first step in managing OSMF is eliminating the primary causes, such as tobacco, betel nut, and other irritants. Our experts guide patients through habit counseling and cessation programs for long-term relief.
2. Medical Treatment
- Nutritional Supplements: We recommend essential vitamins and antioxidants to improve tissue health.
- Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids help reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- Topical Applications: Prescribed gels and ointments aid in reducing discomfort and improving elasticity.
3. Advanced Laser Therapy
Our cutting-edge laser treatment is a painless and non-invasive procedure that helps improve mouth opening, enhances blood circulation, and promotes tissue healing.
4. Surgical Interventions
For severe cases where fibrosis has significantly restricted mouth movement, surgical options such as fibrotomy and reconstruction procedures may be recommended to restore normal function.
