There are many complex conditions in the oro-facial region, such as those involving the jaw joint and oral mucosa, where the hidden root causes often go unnoticed, leading to no or incomplete treatment, recurrence, and heightened anxiety.
Prof. Dr. Prashant Suvarna is an Oral Physician with 25+ years of rich experience in handling complex oral maxillofacial cases that require detailed evaluation, precise diagnosis & holistic care.
There exists a plethora of oral mucosal conditions like Burning Mouth Syndrome that remain undiagnosed and unaddressed by various specialties, including general practitioners and other medical specialties. Patients themselves often do not understand which specialty they need to consult for oral complaints not involving teeth, leading to unforeseen complications.
Erosions, ulcerations, and burning mouth syndrome with or without visible oral lesions need a robust objective assessment of both signs and symptoms. Only after thorough clinical examination and investigations can a diagnosis be established, paving the way for effective treatment.
Most autoimmune disorders cause ulceration and erosions in the oral cavity, often accompanied by psychosomatic stress, which is one of the most important precipitating factors.
Having understood this, along with palliative treatment, supportive therapy in managing stress should be initiated.
Red and white lesions, such as Leukoplakia and Lichen Planus, are frequently overlooked and, if detected, may be subjected to unnecessary biopsies, although some may need to be due to their altered, suspicious clinical presentation. Fear of biopsy causes a profound psychological impact on patients and their families, especially when the underlying pathophysiology is not clarified and patients are not given sufficient counselling, resulting in significant fear and anxiety.
Stress must be addressed separately to ease the anxiety linked to the recurrence of oral ulcers during exacerbations.
However, there is no comprehensive system in place that tackles the root cause, and this cycle continues uninterrupted.
Dr. Prashant Suvarna's detailed evaluations, lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, improving gut health, medication for GERD, counselling, stress management, and alternative customized holistic approaches have been immensely successful in treating complex oral diseases effectively with minimal recurrences.
