My sister's and many members of my family were born with a hump in the center of the roof of our mouth. A doctor at the VA was quite excited to see this some years back and even showed it to one of her colleagues. Do you know the name, I have forgotten?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain as your sister and many members of your family are born with a bump on the roof of the mouth just at the centre can be most probably be a Palatine Torus and is a bony elevation present at the centre of palate.. It is many a times genetic in origin and as many members of same family are born with it it seems to be a genetic predilectation..
For confirmation you can consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and an x ray can be helpful in diagnosis..
In case of Palatine Torus, although it is harmless and if small does not interfare with normal functions but in case if it is large enough it can be removed surgically..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
