re: The bones (tori?) under my tongue freak me out

They are called tori (multiple) or torus (singular). Some people have them, some don't. Some of them can be HUGE and need to be removed because they are so large they interfere with tongue space, chewing, and talking. I have small ones on the floor of my mouth and a small one in the center of my hard palate.
I had no idea this existed. Weird.

I never knew either until dental hygiene school and we had to do exams on each other and I was told I had them. Mine are so small that I can't really feel them with my tongue, but I can if I rub the sites with my finger. My best friend has them, though, and they are so large that I can see them when she talks and sometimes, it even sounds like she has marbles in her mouth while she is talking because they take up room where her tongue should go.

Me either. I'm glad I don't have this genetic malformation.
