jawbone beneath teeth is asymmetric

[hello_mrzebra]

Ok this is a weird one, but it's my current worry of the moment.

Right beneath my first molars on either side of my jawbone on the inside there are little bone protrusions - my worry is that I've suddenly noticed that the bone protrusion on the left side is MUCH bigger than the one on the right. It's a visible difference I can see when I look in the mirror and feel with my tongue.

I kinda think that it's always been like this and I'm just now noticing it b/c I'm looking for something to worry about, but I'm just curious if anyone else has this kind of asymmetry in their mouth.

I'm really battling the temptation to google this but I know I'll just end up convinced it's cancer of some sort, so I'm hoping you all can help put my mind at ease.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'd imagine this is common in the mouth as there are lots of people with orthodontic problems. I think it's when we're anxious about our health that we examine every nook and crannie!!

Yeah, I know deep down it's fine. My friend says it's just the roots of my teeth. I guess if there was any pain I'd be more worried. It's funny how we can grab on to any little think to freak out about!
