Difficulty in opening the mouth is often caused by a condition known as Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF). This problem is commonly linked to tobacco chewing, gutkha, or pan masala use, and if ignored, it can severely restrict mouth opening and even increase the risk of oral cancer.
At Aksharatit Dental Clinic, Karelibagh, we provide specialized treatment for OSMF to improve mouth opening and restore oral health.
