Yes moderate osfm can definitely be treated. The first step has to be cessation of any bad habit (such as tobacco chewing). Your doctor will probably start with medications such as SM fibro for a month. If these don't make much of a difference, then the next option would be to give intra oral injections at the affected site. If these also don't work then the last option would be a surgery followed by mouth exercises.
Next Steps
Identify the causative agent (probably a long standing habit) and stop it immediately. visit your nearest oral medicine doctor and follow the instructions regularly
Health Tips
Do not panic. Avoid stress and be positive.
