Understanding Mandibular Tori

Mandibular tori are bony growths that develop on the lower jawbone (mandible), typically along the inner surface near the tongue. These benign bony protrusions are usually painless and asymptomatic but may cause discomfort or difficulty with oral hygiene in some cases. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and managing mandibular tori to promote optimal oral health and comfort for our patients.

Symptoms of Mandibular Tori

• Bony protrusions along the inner surface of the lower jaw
• Often asymptomatic but may cause discomfort if irritated or traumatized
• Rarely require treatment unless they interfere with oral function or oral hygiene practices

Treatment Options for Mandibular Tori

1. Observation: In many cases, mandibular tori do not require treatment unless they cause symptoms or interfere with oral function. Regular monitoring during dental check-ups at South Gate Dental Clinic allows us to track any changes in size or symptoms over time.
2. Surgical Removal: If mandibular tori cause discomfort, interfere with oral function, or pose a risk during dental procedures, surgical removal may be recommended. Our skilled oral surgeons perform precise and minimally invasive procedures to remove mandibular tori while preserving surrounding tissues and promoting optimal healing.
3. Palliative Measures: For patients experiencing discomfort or difficulty with oral hygiene due to mandibular tori, palliative measures such as soft tissue management, oral appliances, or pain management techniques may provide relief and improve quality of life.

• Relief from discomfort or difficulty with oral hygiene caused by mandibular tori
