I'm not sure what triggered it, but for the past few weeks I've been down the oral cancer rabbit hole. Thankfully the spots I was worried about have cleared up, but in looking at my mouth so much, I've now noticed I have what feels like a marble above my 2nd upper right molar on the tongue side. It looks like normal tissue, just sticks out.
Couldn't help myself and Googled enough to discover that bony growths (torus/tori) don't grow in this area. They grow on the midline of the roof of mouth or on the cheek side of the upper molars.
After that I bailed before I could find anything scary.
Off to the dentist tomorrow, but feeling anxious about what on earth this could be. I have had work and root canal on the molar next to this one (a long time ago), so I'm hoping it's something benign related that.
Really wishing I hadn't put off going to the dentist during 2020 now!
