A member asked:

In the roof of my mouth theres a huge bump like which hurts? what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many choices: Could be torus palatines, a boney outgrowth, that has become scratched/burned/irritated. Could be cyst, draining abscess, infection, etc. You really need to see your dentist for exam, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment plan..
