Follow up on a dental history of mine
I wanted to provide my complete dental history and seek your guidance regarding my oral health. 1.Smoking History: I was a chain smoker until April 2022, then quit, but occasionally smoked. My last instance was 15 days ago. 2.Oral Health Condition: Diagnosed with oral keratosis at 37/38 about 6–7 months ago (Was having cheek bite coz of molars for 2/3 years and got it removed 8 months back)My last check-up showed an increase in keratosis which was decreased before , likely due to occasional smoking. My mouth opening remains 3 fingers wide, and I experience occasional sharp pain on cheeks and on teeth but no other major functional issues. (From last 10 days taking 4/5 hours sleeep and overthinking a lot for my health) 3.Current Treatment: Taking Lycored, Tycovit, dentist asked to use Kenacort gel again there and i started using alum gargle What should other things i should do to increase the recovery of it ? Is improper sleep a reason of increase in it?

Dear Practo user , I strongly recommend improving your sleep hygiene by aiming for a minimum of 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night, as adequate rest plays a vital role in the healing process. Continue the prescribed medication, including the use of Kenacort gel and supplements like Lycored and Tycovit, as advised by your dentist. I also strongly urge you to quit smoking completely, as even occasional smoking can hinder recovery and exacerbate oral keratosis. Additionally, avoid spicy and acidic foods to prevent irritation, and maintain a balanced diet to support healing. Regular follow-ups with your dentist are essential to monitor progress and ensure proper management of your condition. For any enquiry regarding your oral health you can take my consultation anytime!
