Torus Mandibularis
These are growths that grow on the inside of the lower jaw. They can grow quite large, or they may remain as small bumps. They are also bound to the underlying bone and cannot be moved around with finger pressure. Tori are quite often mistaken by patients for oral cancer. Very large mandibular toril can become a nuisance since they are covered easily with abraded soft tissue and can become quite sore when eating hard or irritating foods. In situations like this, it is advisable to see a specialist and have them removed. The operation is not especially difficult, and aside from postoperative discomfort, the effects are immediate and quite positive. Please call Dr. O'Neil's office and schedule an evaluation with our Periodontist to see if this procedure will benefit you.
