No: It is kind of normal specially with dry mouth hydrate well

Question 5

can the soft palate get inflamed?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Just like most other parts of your mouth and body.

Question 6

what are the causes of soft palate collapsed? what does it means?

Accepted Answer

Makes no sense!: soft palate is a muscle like structure which is not prone to too many changes. I do not know of any term labeled 'collapse'. So you can ignore it unless you have some local symptoms on the roof of you mouth. Your tongue can check it out for you.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

See ENT or surgeon: See an ENT or oral surgeon.  I have never heard your question before and you may require specialty evaluation.

Question 8

is it normal for the surface of the soft palate to feel all bumpy and rough? have felt it for years, but was never concerned about it.

Accepted Answer

Normal: if that was the case for years ,then it's normal if the soft palate is rough textured specially in smokers or as a side effect of meds.

Question 9

i have a tiny hole between my hard and soft palate i've had it all of my life i know it's not normal but is it anything to be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Have your dentist take a look to reassure you or alternatively if it needs any treatment.

Question 10

what are the signs of soft palate cancer?

Accepted Answer

Includes the uvula,: The little dew drop hanging, and then stertching to the front draping fold of the tonsil.  If you look, you may see a mass, and it can bleed, it can block breathing or make swallowing difficult. The hard palate is bony, and forms the roof of your mouth, the soft is behind your teeth.  The hard palate can have a big bump called a torus palatinus - never cancer.
