Hi! my baby has ridges on the roof of her mouth, she does not have any teeth as yet so I queried it with my health visitor as I thought that it may be to do with teething, I was told it is to do with the development of the jaw but she couldnt expand on this! Is this correct?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that if the ridges are present only on the front side of the roof of the mouth then it can be Palatine rogue, and it is the folds of mucosa and are normal anatomical structure and nothing else. It is not a pathology. I would suggest you to consult a Pediatric Dentist and get her oral examination done to rule out whether it is rogue or any other pathology. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
