Will A Lump On Palatal Tori Cause Any Serious Problem?

I have a lump just to one the side of the palatal tori. My dentist found it and referred me to an oral surgeon. He said he wasnt sure what it was, did a panorex xray that didnt show anything, and said wait a month and come back if still there. It is still there and slightly larger, minimally tender. Should i be concerned? Never smoked or used any tobacco product

Hi
With your query, you have already visited your dentist so nothing to worry about it usually treatment for this condition is alveoplasty or osteoectomy or osteoplasty which is a surgical procedure to remove that excess bone. Please follow your dentist for regular check up .Hope this helps you.
