Tori growth as related to migraines: I am 67 years old. My tori is enlarged and is still growing. I have suffered with and been treated for migraines since about 15 years old. Is there any research that might suggest a relationship between the bones in the jaw and migraine? It seems a bit unusual that this bone structure is still growing at my age. I have even had maxillary nerve treatment by a dentist in up-state New York. ... Visitor from MN (answer)
I have tori in the upper part of my front teeth and its changing the shape of my upper lip. I am so worried because my mouth is starting to protrude. Please help me find a medication to stop its growth. I need a specialist on this in Moreno Valley. I am taking Thyrax for my lifetime medication. ... Visitor from CA (answer)
Enlarged Jawbone: Inside my mouth, I seem to have a very large jawbone on the bottom that abnormally extends both inward and outward beyond the regular gumline. I am female and in my early 30's. I hadn't noticed this condition until my dentist pointed it out. I can't find a name for it. The dentist said the jawbone can be shaved down. Since I was a child, I have rested my tongue on the roof of my mouth, which a previous dentist tried to correct with a "rake." I am now having difficulty swallowing and wonder if this is related. Will the bone continue to grow? Is it a genetic condition, or could it signify other health problems? It is not particularly uncomfortable but it does stretch the gums thin. Help? ...

Can Tori be cancerous?: I evidently have a Tori on both sides of my mouth. It does not bug me, but recently when I changed dentists, they suspect that I have a potential cancer issue. They are waiting a month to watch to see if the two spots 'grow'. Can it grow this fast? Do you think this is the right way to go? They think this might just be scar tissue ...Visitor from CA (answer)
Removing bones for dentures: I have full upper plate, partial lower with 6 remaining teeth of my own. They are decayed and breaking and I need full lower plate. I was told many years ago I could not wear a lower denture without breaking and removing bones inside my mouth. They are fairly close together on the inner part. They said I would have nothing to fit a plate over. Is this still true today or have they come out with a type of lower plate I could wear? I could not handle the pain of chipping away all this bone. I have lost half a tooth my partial hooks on to. I also have breathing problems and have to be careful with any surgery. ...Visitor from FL (answer)
Mandibular Tori: I am 52 years of age and have had Mandibular Tori for as long as I can remember. I have just recently learned that these growths are not natural. They seem to be growing as food gets caught under them causing considerable pain and discomfort. What is the surgical procedure utilized to eliminate the Tori? ...Visitor from NV (answer)
Bruxism/Mandibular Tori: I am 38 years old and have apparently been grinding my teeth for several years. The only symptoms I had were sensitive teeth. I have recently developed Mandibular Tori and have started grinding and clenching my teeth so hard that it wakes me several times a night. My dentist gave me a night guard and my physician gave me anti-anxiety medications. My teeth, jaws, neck and shoulders are tense and sore. I am worried because my mother has TMJ and Fibromyalgia and I do not want to get TMJ. Will the Tori stop growing now that I am wearing a night guard? Who should I see next - an orthodontist or a craniofacial specialist? ...Visitor from TX (answer)
