Yes, Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) with limited mouth opening can be treated with surgery and other methods besides mouth exercises. Surgical intervention is generally recommended when mouth opening is less than 25 mm.

My wisdom tooth is growing sideways under the gums and pushing against my other teeth. The dentist recommended surgery for removal, but I'm wondering if homeopathy can help avoid surgery since the tooth isn't even visible. Are there any homeo treatments that might work for this?
While some may explore homeopathic options, for an impacted wisdom tooth causing issues like misalignment and pressure on other teeth, surgery is generally recommended as the most effective solution. Homeopathic treatments haven't been proven to be a reliable alternative for such dental problems.

I've been chewing gutkha for about 5 years and noticed an ulcer on the gum near my upper wisdom tooth a month ago. I stopped the habit for two weeks and the ulcer healed, but theres still a skin growth at the jaw joint and pain when I open my mouth. I visited a surgical oncologist who mentioned it might be a premalignant condition like leukoplakia with white discoloration. I was told to stop chewing entirely and given some supplements and a mouthwash. The tenderness mostly went away after 23 days, but now the pain at my wisdom tooth gum has returned. Do you think theres a high chance of this turning into cancer?
