What Causes Growth Of Bone Under The Tongue?
Hello, I am 19 years old, female, 5'4, 173 pounds, and have no major medical history problems. I take medication for acid reflux every morning, but other than that, no medications. I just had the last 3 of my wisdom teeth removed this past Friday. I am taking Penecillin four times daily as prescribed ( I have taken them correctly), and the prescribed Ibuprofen as needed, which has not been often. I have what is called, I believe "torsi" - bone that grows in the bottom of the mouth, under the tongue. Well, I have two painful blisters at the anaesthesia injection sites - they are right next to the torsi ( I am not sure if this is relevent, but thought I would mention it). They have been there for three days now. I have my follow up appointment with my dr. this Friday, but I really wanted to ask on here and see what it could be beforehand. I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm worried.

Hello and welcome to HCM forum,
Thank you for providing all the details here related to your last dental visit.
I would like to inform you that "tori" in medical terms means a bony overgrowth which is normal in some individuals and is very common in females.
I have had a number of female patients with tori on the bottom as well as on the palate.
The bony growths are nothing to worry about, it has a hereditary prevalence.
The ulcers besides these tori should heal in next 3-5 days.
Do not worry and continue following the regime as instructed by your dentist.
I hope this answer was helpful.
I wish you good health
Take care
