Mandibular Tori (Torus Mandibularis) - An overall guide

If you notice or feel a hard bump covered by normal gum tissue on the roof of your mouth (palate), it could be a dental torus, also known as torus mandibularis. These bony growths are typically harmless and don’t require removal unless they interfere with eating or speaking. Dental tori may be present from birth or develop later in life. This blog will explain where dental tori originate and how they can be treated.

What Are Mandibular Tori (Torus Mandibularis)?

Mandibular tori are harmless bony growths covered by normal gum tissue that appear on the roof of the mouth. Also called dental tori, these growths are typically painless and don’t need treatment unless they interfere with speaking or eating. When tori appear on the palate (roof of the mouth), healthcare professionals may refer to them as palatal tori or torus palatinus.

Dental tori can grow in various numbers and locations. According to the Journal of Dental Science, they commonly appear in three places:

Mandibular lingual tori: On the inner side of the lower jaw, typically near the premolars and molars.

Maxillary tori: These appear on the roof of the mouth.

Buccal exostoses: Also known as buccal tori, these grow on the cheek side of the upper or lower jaw, near the premolars and molars.

What Causes Mandibular Tori?

The exact cause of dental tori is still not well understood, but several factors may contribute to their development, including:

Genetics: A family history of mandibular tori increases the likelihood of their development.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): People who grind or clench their teeth are more prone to developing mandibular tori.

Diet: A diet rich in saltwater fish, which contains high levels of vitamin D and polyunsaturated fats, may contribute to bone growth and lead to tori.

Trauma or Injury: Physical injury to the mouth or jaw could trigger the development of tori.

Age: People over 30 are more likely to develop dental tori.

Chewing Hard Foods: Regularly chewing hard substances can contribute to the growth of dental tori.

Symptoms of Mandibular Tori

Mandibular tori can vary in size and number, often growing symmetrically on both sides of the roof of the mouth. Some common symptoms include:

Difficulty speaking.

 

Difficulty chewing or swallowing food.

Problems with fitting dentures or mouthguards.

Food particles getting trapped between the bumps, potentially causing bad breath.

Irritation or ulceration of the gums due to overgrown tori.

Complications of Mandibular Tori

Although dental tori are typically harmless and non-cancerous, they can cause some complications, such as:

Difficulty speaking due to interference with the tongue.

Poor oral hygiene caused by difficulty brushing or flossing around the tori, leading to plaque buildup.

Food particles becoming trapped, resulting in bad breath.

Challenges swallowing food due to overgrowth.

Diagnosis of Mandibular Tori

Mandibular tori are often diagnosed through visual examination, X-rays, or photographs. In most cases, no special tests are necessary. A dentist may notice the tori during a routine visit. X-rays are sometimes used to determine the precise location of the tori and assess nearby teeth, while photos can document the size and location of the growths for future reference.

How Are Mandibular Tori Treated?

Treatment for mandibular tori is usually unnecessary unless they cause complications. If removal is required, the procedure involves oral surgery performed by a maxillofacial surgeon.

Mandibular Tori Removal Surgery

During the surgery, the surgeon will numb the area with local anesthesia, make a small incision in the gums, remove the tori and any excess bone, and then close the incision with stitches.

Recovery After Mandibular Tori Surgery

Recovery from surgery usually takes between one to four weeks. It is essential to follow the guidelines provided by your healthcare professional during this period, which may include:

Taking prescribed medications.

Avoiding hard, spicy, and crunchy foods.

Using an antibacterial mouthwash.

Opting for soft foods during recovery.

Conclusion

Mandibular tori are a benign and painless condition that typically does not require treatment unless they cause complications. If you notice growths in your mouth, consult a dentist to monitor the development and determine if any intervention is necessary.

The Impact of Stress on Your Oral Health: Tips for Stress Management

Stress is a common part of modern life, affecting not just your mental and physical well-being, but also your oral health. Understanding the connection between stress and oral health is crucial for maintaining a healthy smile and overall wellness. Here's how stress impacts your oral health and some practical tips for managing stress effectively.

How Stress Affects Oral Health

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding and Clenching)

Stress can lead to bruxism, where you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth, especially during sleep. This can cause tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches.

Gum Disease

Chronic stress weakens your immune system, making it harder to fight off infections, including gum disease. Stress can also lead to poor oral hygiene habits, further increasing the risk of periodontal issues.

Dry Mouth

Stress reduces saliva production, leading to dry mouth. Saliva is essential for neutralizing acids and washing away food particles and bacteria, so a lack of it can increase the risk of tooth decay and oral infections.

Canker Sores

Stress can trigger the development of painful canker sores inside your mouth. These small ulcers can make eating and talking uncomfortable.

Neglecting Oral Hygiene

When stressed, people often neglect their daily oral hygiene routines, skip dental appointments, and consume unhealthy foods and drinks, which can all contribute to poor oral health.

Tips for Managing Stress and Protecting Your Oral Health

Practice Good Oral Hygiene

Maintain a consistent oral care routine, including brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to combat dry mouth and maintain saliva production. Chewing sugar-free gum can also help stimulate saliva flow.

Eat a Balanced Diet

Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid excessive consumption of sugary and acidic foods and drinks.

Exercise Regularly

Physical activity is a powerful stress reliever. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week to help reduce stress levels.

Get Enough Sleep

Quality sleep is essential for managing stress. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to help your body recover and reduce stress.

Practice Relaxation Techniques

Incorporate relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or mindfulness into your daily routine to manage stress effectively.

Seek Professional Help

If stress is overwhelming, consider talking to a therapist or counselor. They can provide strategies and support to help you cope with stress.

Visit Your Dentist Regularly

Regular dental check-ups are vital for maintaining oral health. Inform your dentist about your stress levels, as they can provide specific advice and treatments to protect your teeth and gums.

By understanding the impact of stress on your oral health and taking proactive steps to manage it, you can maintain a healthy smile and improve your overall well-being. Remember, a little self-care goes a long way in preserving both your mental and oral health.

Gratitude Changes You

Today's inspiration comes from:

Quiet Prayer

by Marie Chapian

"'Just look at us! We’ve become overcome with gratitude! Gratitude can’t occupy the same area of space in your heart as carping and complaining. Which will it be? The truth that emerges from the center of you, from the core of your being, is revealed to you by the One who chose you, and this is worth celebrating. You’re possessed by God, you’re surrendered and blessed. As His loved child you possess all things.

It’s time to be grateful.

Look for small things to celebrate. The way your fingers move across the page of this book, the touch of sunlight on your neck, the sound of leaves scraping against the window. Pay attention to the small things and be grateful.

For who has despised the day of small things?” — Zechariah 4:10

When you purpose in your heart to be grateful, you’ll thank and praise the Lord all day long for no reason at all. You’ll thank Him for Himself alone, and that’s the purest form of gratitude to God.

You no longer need answered prayer to be grateful. You no longer require things work out the way you planned to be grateful (though we rejoice and celebrate these blessings!).

Your personhood now and forever is His, and you can exclaim with a sigh of grateful relief, “It is well with my soul.”

The studies made of the effects of gratitude on the overall well-being of a person are unanimously positive. It proves one thing: God created us to be grateful. A thankful heart frees you to love life.

Nothing opens the gates of Heaven like gratitude. In gratitude all things are yours.

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

It is good to give thanks unto the Lord, And to sing praises to your name, O Most High. — Psalm 92:1

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. — 2 Chronicles 16:34

The purest form of gratitude to God is thanking Him for Himself alone.

Gratitude has been shown to reduce health complaints too numerous to name, but I’ve had clients tell me their ulcers have vanished, their headaches are gone, their skin has cleared up, and their bruxism (teeth grinding) has ended. Gratitude must start and end your day.

Deep inside the grateful heart is the treasure of the joy that the whole world seeks.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. — Deuteronomy 14:2

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. — 2 Corinthians 4:7

What do you need to be grateful?

An inmate serving a life sentence in a Texas prison wrote the following poem. He sent it to the prison ministry spearheaded by Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister.

A THANKSGIVING DANCE

I own nothing but these arms, So I swing them, So I clap them. I have nothing but these legs, So I lift them in dance. I have nothing but my own hips, So I sway them in a trance. Except I may not even own this body — but I move. Even still I may not say where I go, Yet I possess my soul. “Dance, dance. Dance,” said He. “I am Lord of the Dance” said He. For all these I give thanks To the One I owe, (O my soul dance) the fact that I exist, that I breathe and that I know the One from Whom all blessings flow.1"'

What Are Early Signs of Dental Trouble?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for overall health and well-being. However, many people ignore their dental health until they experience severe pain or discomfort. Recognising the early signs of dental trouble is crucial for preventing major dental issues and ensuring a healthy smile. Here are some common early signs that should not be overlooked:

1. Toothache and Sensitivity:

Persistent toothaches or sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures could indicate tooth decay or enamel erosion. If you experience sharp pain or discomfort while consuming certain foods or drinks, it's time to consult a dentist.

2. Bleeding Gums:

Bleeding gums, especially while brushing or flossing, could indicate gum disease (gingivitis). If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to more severe forms of gum disease (periodontitis) and lead to tooth loss. Healthy gums should not bleed during regular oral care routines.

3. Bad Breath (Halitosis):

Chronic bad breath, even after brushing and using mouthwash, may indicate the presence of bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria can cause tooth decay and gum disease, leading to unpleasant breath. Regular dental check-ups can help identify the underlying cause of persistent bad breath.

4. Swollen or Red Gums:

Swollen, red, or inflamed gums are signs of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease. Healthy gums are pale pink and firm. If your gums appear red and swollen, it's essential to seek dental advice promptly to prevent the condition from worsening.

5. Changes in Tooth Appearance:

Changes in the colour, shape, or size of your teeth could indicate various dental problems, such as cavities, infections, or enamel erosion. A dentist should examine any noticeable changes to prevent further damage.

6. Loose or Shifting Teeth:

Adult teeth should be firmly in place. If you notice any looseness or shifting, it could be a sign of advanced gum disease or other dental issues. Prompt dental intervention is necessary to prevent tooth loss and other complications.

7. Jaw Pain or Discomfort:

Persistent pain in the jaw, especially while chewing, could indicate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder or teeth grinding (bruxism). Both conditions can lead to significant dental problems if not addressed in their early stages.

8. Dry Mouth:

Medications, certain medical conditions, or inadequate saliva production can cause chronic dry mouth. Saliva is essential for rinsing away food particles and neutralising acids in the mouth. A consistently dry mouth can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

9. Mouth Sores or Ulcers:

While occasional mouth sores are common and usually harmless, persistent or painful ulcers could indicate an underlying dental problem or other health issues. Regular dental check-ups can help diagnose the cause and provide appropriate treatment.

10. Difficulty in Eating:

Suppose you experience pain or discomfort while chewing or swallowing. This may indicate dental issues like cavities, cracked teeth, or gum disease. Ignoring these signs can lead to more extensive dental work in the future.

In summary, paying attention to these early signs of dental trouble and seeking timely dental care is crucial for maintaining good oral health. Regular dental check-ups and practising good oral hygiene habits at home are the foundation for a healthy and beautiful smile. Remember, prevention is always better than cure for dental problems.

Gratitude Changes You

Today's inspiration comes from:

Quiet Prayer

by Marie Chapian

"Just look at us! We’ve become overcome with gratitude! Gratitude can’t occupy the same area of space in your heart as carping and complaining. Which will it be? The truth that emerges from the center of you, from the core of your being, is revealed to you by the One who chose you, and this is worth celebrating. You’re possessed by God, you’re surrendered and blessed. As His loved child you possess all things.

It’s time to be grateful.

Look for small things to celebrate. The way your fingers move across the page of this book, the touch of sunlight on your neck, the sound of leaves scraping against the window. Pay attention to the small things and be grateful.

For who has despised the day of small things?” — Zechariah 4:10

When you purpose in your heart to be grateful, you’ll thank and praise the Lord all day long for no reason at all. You’ll thank Him for Himself alone, and that’s the purest form of gratitude to God.

You no longer need answered prayer to be grateful. You no longer require things work out the way you planned to be grateful (though we rejoice and celebrate these blessings!).

Your personhood now and forever is His, and you can exclaim with a sigh of grateful relief, “It is well with my soul.”

The studies made of the effects of gratitude on the overall well-being of a person are unanimously positive. It proves one thing: God created us to be grateful. A thankful heart frees you to love life.

Nothing opens the gates of Heaven like gratitude. In gratitude all things are yours.

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

It is good to give thanks unto the Lord, And to sing praises to your name, O Most High. — Psalm 92:1

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. — 2 Chronicles 16:34

Nothing opens the gates of Heaven like gratitude.

Gratitude has been shown to reduce health complaints too numerous to name, but I’ve had clients tell me their ulcers have vanished, their headaches are gone, their skin has cleared up, and their bruxism (teeth grinding) has ended. Gratitude must start and end your day.

Deep inside the grateful heart is the treasure of the joy that the whole world seeks.

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. — Deuteronomy 14:2

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. — 2 Corinthians 4:7

What do you need to be grateful?

An inmate serving a life sentence in a Texas prison wrote the following poem. He sent it to the prison ministry spearheaded by Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister.

A THANKSGIVING DANCE

I own nothing but these arms, So I swing them, So I clap them. I have nothing but these legs, So I lift them in dance. I have nothing but my own hips, So I sway them in a trance. Except I may not even own this body — but I move. Even still I may not say where I go, Yet I possess my soul. “Dance, dance. Dance,” said He. “I am Lord of the Dance” said He. For all these I give thanks To the One I owe, (O my soul dance) the fact that I exist, that I breathe and that I know the One from Whom all blessings flow.1"

Because it’s cheaper and less of a commitment than therapy...

This isn’t a woe is me post, honestly. Not a whiny give me sympathy post. This is me acknowledging that there’s a whole lot freakin’ beyond my control with my body and I’m kinda muddling through on my own as best I can while working a highly stressful job with good success at making my bosses happy while caught between a rock and hard place of stress vs. a really good paycheck and benefits – and also being the primary caregiver for my aging parents, three cats and a dog – plus there’s that pesky on-going global pandemic.

I took inventory of what I’ve got going on:

Interstitial Cystitis

Migraines

Displaced C3 and C4

Occipital Tendonitis

General back, shoulder and neck pain

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome/Tendonitis

De Quervain's Tenosynovitis

Tendonitis

Dysmenorrhea

Hemorrhoids

Peptic Ulcers

Middle Ear Myoclonus

Vertigo

Fibroids

Bruxism

Asthma

 … and on Wednesday I found a breast lump. Seeing a doc on the 29th.

I just want some peace, quiet, and time for me to paint and write, but more than that, I want less physical pain and an uncluttered, less beleaguered mind.
