Home / Fibroma
A fibroma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour that consists of fibrous or connective tissue. It can occur anywhere in the body, but in the context of oral and maxillofacial health, it often forms in the soft tissues of the mouth, such as the gums, inner cheeks, or tongue.

Treatment for an oral fibroma typically involves surgical removal. The procedure is straightforward and usually carried out under local anaesthetic. Post-surgery, the area is allowed to heal, and further irritation is avoided to prevent recurrence.
