Answer 3

Ruggae or tori?: In the roof of the mouth toward the anterior there is sometimes a series of ridge formed by the mucosal folds, these are called ruggae. Ruggae is normal anatomical structure and no treatment is necessary. In the roof of the palate sometimes there is bony tubercle forming. The bony structure is termed palatal tori. The tori can be large and thus forming an indentation at the border.

Answer 4

Palatal Tori: Palatal tori is a slow growing hard lump in the roof of the mouth that is usually painless. These growths run in the family. It is not cancerous but can become sore from eating hard or sharp foods such as chips. It needs to be removed if you want to wear an upper denture. As with any changes in your mouth it is a good idea to have a dentist examine the lump to rule out cancer or tumor.

Answer 5

Bony overgrowth: If this lump is hard and has been very slowly growing, it most likely is a palatal tori. This is an overgrowth of bone and is quite common. It usually does not require any treatment but can become irritated or scratched at times. However, if the lump has developed very rapidly or is soft and spongy, you should see your dentist asap for evaluation to rule out an abscess, cyst, or other pathology.

Answer 6

Get it examined: You may want to see your dentist to have this examined.

Answer 7

Did you get burned?: Sometimes people eat very hot foods very fast . If the soreness is in the area of your molars, near the gum line where the teeth meet the gum, its probably a burn from that. Its always good to see a doctor just to be sure. Sometimes these burns can take 1-2 weeks to resolve, depending on the severity and the area affected.

Answer 8

Many things...: An inflamed palate could be a sign of many things, most of which are not a worry. Believe it or not, the largest reason i see inflamed palates is a pizza burn. Eating hot pizza, the cheese burns the roof of the mouth and can be quite painful for a few days. If it persists, see a dmd/dds.

Answer 9

See oral surgeon: Several reasons for this. If persistent, see oral surgeon for evaluation and treatment.

Answer 10

Normal: As the palate is developing while you were in the womb it consists as three parts that merge to form the roof of the mouth. The two largest parts come in from the side and fuse together leaving a midline ridge of bone and lining. It is a normal result of palate development.

Answer 11

Rugae or torus : It is probably normal anatomy of the palate. Rugae are in the anterior one third. A torus is usually more in the middle. See a dentist for confirmation.

Answer 12

Normal: I think you mean the normal folds or raphe that we all have. Sometimes they will become more prominent after eating some foods, but they are normal.

Answer 13

Swollen palate: Sometimes a swelling can come from an infected tooth or gum it can be a draining fistula, it can be a cyst it can be a growth have your periodontist or dentist evaluate the area.
