re: Anybody ever had mandibular tori removed?

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 it done in January. The hardest part was getting over anesthesia. Once I woke up good I felt hardly and pain, kept thinking meds hasn’t wore off. Had it done because of trauma to the are and was in major pain from that for about two weeks!! Would do it again in a heart beat

You must have tried grinding it. Someone once told me it's faster to cut a tree down than it is to grind it from the top down, so why would I try grinding a tori?
I agree with ruzil though. Don't need it removed unless you are getting cuts on the soft tissue. If you didn't know about it before, you won't notice it later.
Their cause is still a bit of a mystery. One 'theory' is that it's because of the body laying new bone to support the extra forces from clenching. If that's the case, they may just grow back.

It's not totally hypothetical. Just made forty, and for the first time been dealing with some trauma in the area that's taking a long time to heal. I suppose there's no way to predict how often this will happen in the future. My fear is that it will get worse as I age, and since I'm doing wisdom teeth anyway, was considering it, but the tori portion and full anesthesia sure seems like an invasive way to deal with it.
