Oral fibrosis, i.e., oral submucous fibrosis, has an irreversible course and therefore does not heal on its own.
The main causes of oral submucous fibrosis are betel nut chewing, excessive consumption of spicy food, immune factors, genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies and so on. There is no specific drug treatment for oral submucous fibrosis, but only by improving the bad habits to slow down the development of the disease.
First of all, the cause of the disease should be removed, no longer chew betel nut, light diet, pay attention to oral hygiene. Early stage patients can supplement vitamin B, C, Vitamin A acid and so on to reduce the symptoms. Can also take some hormone drugs under the guidance of the doctor, or submucosal injection of interferon to improve immunity.
Oral submucous fibrosis is a pre-cancerous state, even if the causative factors are removed, it cannot be cured by itself. Therefore, it is necessary to develop good oral hygiene habits, refuse betel nut, eat less spicy food, quit smoking and drinking to achieve early prevention. The use of the above medications should be in accordance with medical advice.
