[|Human|] I have a small lump, it s flesh colored and hard, on the roof of my mouth. I had a crown removed and cavity filled last week. It might be where the Novocain was injected but I m not sure if that was the spot it was. I m going to the dentist in 2 weeks to get my crown put on. Is that too long to wait?? Could this be serious??
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for your question.  You may have a torus plantings.  This is an outgrown of bone found in the hard palate along the midline and a common benign finding.  You may have had this for a while but did not take notice until after the procedure.  If it is near the gum line, and you had a rubber dam placed, this could be a spot of trauma from the dental clamp and is part of the healing process.  Keep an eye on the spot.  If it is non-ulcerated and flesh colored it can wait two weeks.  This is most likely benign, and you can rest easily.  Please bring this up with your dentist to evaluate, so he may bury any more anxiety or fears you may have.  Best wishes and good health.
