No problems: A small nipple-shaped projection or elevation behind to the two maxillary central incisors is called incisive papilla and is a normal anatomical structure. In this area nerves and blood vessels come through the bone. If concerned, ask your dentist for evaluation.

Exam: If this is new, if it has just become noticeable since your check-up, you must return to your Dentist for an examination. Please call now to make an appointment.
