Idiopathic Fibrous Hyperplasia treatment in Cancún

Idiopathic fibrous hyperplasia is a benign growth of fibrous tissue, frequently in the gum or the lining of the mouth, without an identifiable cause to explain it.

How does it show up? It usually appears as a firm lump, a color similar to the neighboring tissue, that grows slowly and does not hurt; at times it is bothersome when chewing or rubs against the teeth.

Common causes: Although by definition it has no clear origin, it is related to the body's response to mild, persistent irritations in the oral cavity.

Which specialist treats it? The evaluation falls to the dentist and, in some cases, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who examine the lesion and determine whether it is worth studying in greater detail. If you notice a new or persistent growth in the mouth, it is worth showing it to a professional to rule out other causes.
