Hello sir. Please don't worry. Osmf diagnosis is better done after physical examination in clinic,or you can feel with your hand inside your cheek and check for any band like tissue. Since you already stopped the habit , please dont worry
Next Steps
Better consult a dentist if you feel those bands inside your cheeck to rule out osmf condition
Health Tips
Please dont re - start the habit of chewing panbor use of any tobacco products

Hello Sir. I understand your concern. As per your given images , i can notice severely stained teeth and mild inflamed gums. Although the inner cheek or buccal mucosa seems healthy, as there are no marked white strands of fibrosis that are seen in OSMF . But it needs clinical check up. Also dentist will check if there is restricted mouth opening. Try putting 4 fingers in your mouth vertically. If all 4 fit in-between maximum mouth opening , if not you should visit near by dentist.
Next Steps
Go for Dental check up, undergo Scaling , start taking multivitamins prescribed by dentist .
Health Tips
Avoid spicy food, too much hot food,smoking, tobacco consumption.

Hello sir.
At this point, you don’t have to worry about cancerous changes. But make sure to get a full mouth cleaning done from the nearest dentist and quit the habit completely.
Next Steps
Incase your mouth opening is decreases, you can start with mouth opening exercises and start with a healthy diet which includes wide variety of vegetables and fruit.
Health Tips
Avoid hard and spicy foods for few months. Maintain good oral hygiene to avoid further infections.
