Questions & Answers

Bone spur

I'm growing a bone like spur thing at the base of my tooth on the inside of my lower gums. It looks and feels like the root of the tooth has decided to turn sideways and protrude into my mouth under my tongue.

Anonymous Patient

This is likely a torus. A bony overgrowth due to excess force placed on bone from clenching or grinding your teeth. I would get an exam by your dentist to verify. Usually they are a non issue unless you need a removable denture of some sort, then they can get in the way and may need to be removed surgically.
