I have suffered from oral leukoplakia before. There are rice sized spots in my mouth, and sometimes I feel pain. However, with correct treatment, I can recover quickly. Let's see how to treat oral leukoplakia.

How to treat oral leukoplakia

First, the most important measures are to remove the stimulating factors, such as smoking cessation, prohibition of alcohol, eating less hot and spicy food, residual roots, residual crowns, bad restorations, etc. It is strictly forbidden to treat leukoplakia with caustic drugs such as phenols and silver nitrate.

Second, for those who have corrected the harmful habits such as smoking but the damage has not disappeared, we can consider the use of drug treatment, and further look for pathogenic factors.

Third: long term use of cod liver oil to wipe leukoplakia, 2-3 times a day, 1-2 months as a course of treatment, but not too hard. Can also take cod liver oil, or with vitamin A. Close follow-up should be done during conservative treatment.

For those who do not heal for a long time and do not subside after treatment, when chaps, ulcers, hardening of the base and significant surface thickening are found in the leukoplakia area, or have the tendency of canceration, surgery should be considered as soon as possible.
