I have this bump on hard palate near back..what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard bump palate: Without looking at your mouth it could be a lot of things. If in the middle of the roof of your mouth, it could be a palatal torus--a boney protuberace on the suture line of the palatine shelves. Best to check with your local dentist and have a complete exam.
