A member asked:
Can there be 1 small torus in the roof of the mouth or is that unlikely? can a new one cause swelling in front of it? can it be towards the molars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tori: Most tori are midline structures in the upper and lower jaw. Swelling toward molars means all bets are off. Tori don't usually swell unless some type of injury to them occurs, and the tissue over them is the usual cause of swelling, not the bone. See an oral surgeon for an exam and suggestions on management.
