Does anyone else get lumps on the hard palate of the mouth?

Are you a smoker?: When i hear about itchy bumps on the roof of the mouth, occurring over a long period of time, i think of a condition seen in smokers. This causes a cobblestoned surface to the roof of the mouth and results from irritation from the tobacco smoke. It should be evaluated by a dermatologist who is familiar with oral diseases to make sure it isn't something more serious.

Yes: It is a common variation of have a platal torus. Most are a normal variation and do not require any intervention. If a patient needs a full upper denture then the torus may need to me removed. If it intefers with speech or swallowing then it may need to be removed.
