Today i went to see a dentist for cavity and loose denture and she noticed a hard lump on my hard palate asked if i had it since childhood? i'm worrie

Oral Surgeon: Many people have a harmless hard lump in the middle of their palate called a Torus, but rarely there could be other cause for swelling. Please see an Oral Surgeon for diagnosis and, if necessary, treatment.

Maxillary torus: If it has been there your whole life, not to worry. Very common benign bony growth.Typically stops growing by mid-20's.May also have ones on inside of lower jaw (mandibular tori).Most bothersome when taking x-ray images and when eating crusty, hard breads,crackers,chips,etc.If upper denture, there must be special attention paid to relieving this contact area to prevent pain and rocking. Good Luck.

Torus Palatinus: it is a bony growth or protrusion that can occur on the upper jaw. If concerned, see yur dentist for evaluation.

Torus: Many people have a harmless boney lump in the middle of the hard palate called a torus. Many people are not aware of this until a new dentist asks about it. This should be part of your dental record. However if this is something new, then it should be evaluated by an oral surgeon to find out what it is.
