Dear patient gutkha chewing can cause certain changes in your oral tissues (gums and cheeks )which if diagnosed in time can be reversed and treated and if not then they can lead to more serious concerns.
Next Steps
Please ensure you get the mouth examined by a qualified dentist who can rule out any precancerous conditions and give you medication for the current problem
Health Tips
