Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
It can be possible that the tooth in front of the mouth can be infected, because of which the infection is spreading to the palate, rugae area.
So you should get an x-ray done of that area which will show the infection.
Hope it will help you.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It can be possible that the front teeth of your upper jaw might be infected because of trauma or caries and now the infection is spreading towards the palate, so better that you should get an x - ray done of that area which will show the infection.
Hope it will help you.
