How was the recovery? Was it worth it? Mine would be done to prevent future traumas and irritation. Wisdom teeth removed at same time. Any experiences would be appreciated. TIA

I have no idea what that is, but it sounds painful

I've taken many off and can tell you the whole process sounds much worse than it is. If you're doing it in conjunction with 3rd molar removal It will be no big deal. Take your pain meds ( I prefer a steroid and NSAID combination) and you'll do just fine.

I have actually performed that surgery a couple of times.

I don’t know what’s more difficult, actually doing the surgery or the recovery for the patient.

There is no way I get that surgery to prevent some hypothetical future trauma. The only clear cut indication for this surgery is pre prosthetic (prior to placing a denture).

Get the wisdom teeth removed but pass on the tori reduction.

I had a Marksvillian Sarah removed in my 20s. Best thing I ever did.

No if you didn’t even know what they were prior to your consultation. Also, did your OMFS treatment plan the reduction or just say during your exam that you’ve got them and it’s something he can reduce if you’re interested?

Yes if they do bother you or frequently get cut by sharp foods like chips. You’ll only have to be sedated/take off work/take pain meds once.

Stevie Nicks sang about this issue in “Leather and Lace”:

Lovers forever,

Mandibular tori
Stay with me, stay
I need you to love me I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me my lace

I really have never seen any have these removed unless there's difficulty in having dentures made or if it's causing problems. Usually don't get removed prophylactically.

Brought the lady that cleans my house to have hers done while they pulled the last of her teeth so she could have dentures put in. (We gifted her dentures for christmas) From what she says, recovery wasnt bad for her, the stitches disolved. I got her soups and soft foods to eat for the first week
