There’s a topic you may not know very much about. However, it’s also something that may ring true for you and explain questions you’ve had for a while: We’d like to talk with you about tori! In short, they’re bony growths that may show up in adulthood. If we have just piqued your interest, then do prepare for a quick yet thorough introduction to what to make of these often confusing yet not-at-all harmful developments.
The Short Story On Tori
If you have these growths in your mouth, then you will probably find them under your tongue. You may notice them up above your tongue on your mouth’s roof. Or, they may make an appearance as protrusions next to your top molars. They will simply look like extra areas covered with gum tissue that weren’t there when you were little.
What You Can Expect If You Have Them
What you can expect is to wonder why you have tori, come in to talk with us about them, and discover that they’re generally perfectly okay. You may think they’re a little strange esthetically when you compare your mouth to someone else’s but there’s no reason to worry about them! (Note: In certain instances, tori may be in the way, which is usually the one time removal may be suggested).
Why An Appointment Is Always Wise!
If you think that you may have tori in your mouth that you’ve never noticed or that you’ve never known how to identify, come on in! We will be happy to take a look and talk with you.
