A member asked:
I have white raised areas on hard palate, behind front teeth- similar to a squid's curled tentacles. what is this? do i need to see a doctor/dentist?

Normal: Those are normal anatomical tissue contours called rugae. Look in someone else's mouth and see the appearance - or take a selfie and have them take one and compare. All are different in contour location and degree. Not to worry. Good Luck.
