Mandibular Tori: Causes and How To Treat It

Have you heard about the oral disease that affects between 5% and 7% of the U.S population? This condition is called Mandibular Tori, it occurs on the inner side of the lower jaw. 

Torus or Tori is a benign bone growth in the mouth, and in most of the cases, there is a torus on both the left and right sides of your oral cavity, making this an overwhelmingly bilateral condition. 

This will cause discomfort and if the growth continues, it can cause pain or disturbed mouth functions. But why does it happen? 

Starting with genetics, this condition is more common in men than in women and can be passed down from father to son. 

As is more frequent in early adult life, local stress in the jaw bone and bruxism are also some of the factors associated with this condition. 

The symptoms of this condition are harmless. To get a complete diagnosis, a visit to your dentist is needed. 

Surgery begins to be an option when the torus starts interference in our speech. Depending on the bone growth and where it is located, the dentist will remove the excess bone by cutting it whole or shaving it to a smaller size.
