About OSMF
Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic, progressive condition of the mouth caused mainly by chewing betel nut, gutkha, tobacco, or other irritants. It leads to stiffness of the oral tissues, burning sensation, restricted mouth opening, and difficulty in eating, speaking, or swallowing. If left untreated, OSMF can increase the risk of developing oral cancer.
At Dr. Prem Anand’s Clinic in Bangalore, we provide specialized diagnosis and treatment for OSMF, combining medical therapy, habit counseling, and advanced procedures to improve mouth opening, reduce symptoms, and restore oral function.

Depending on the stage of the condition, treatment may include medications, topical agents, and injections to reduce burning sensations and inflammation, along with physiotherapy and oral exercises to improve elasticity and mouth opening.
