There are different treatment modalities for reduced mouth opening depending on its severity. You need to take multivitamin supplements containing zinc and antioxidants. You need physiotherapy exercise where your dentist will guide you. If the damage is much severe then local injections can be given on the fibrous bands that are formed that caused restriction in mouth opening. In very severe cases the bands are cut surgically. Visit a dentist near by soon.

Tobacco is not the only reason for reduced mouth opening, intake of excessive spicy food also leads to this. So avoid hot and spicy food.
