Yes: Next time you see your Dentist for a regular appointment have it checked out. If you notice soft swelling, change in size or color, don't wait, call Dentist for appointment.

Yes: A palatal torus may vary in appearance and size, usually along the midline of the upper jaw. Some people may also have additional dense bone growth or nodule adjacent to the teeth referred to as an exostosis or multiple growths referred to as exostosi.
