So as it turns out I have a genetic disorder. Thanks mom and dad :) My dental hygienist discovered tori mandibularis in my mouth during my pre-cleaning screening. I didn't even notice them growing. I thought that everyone had them. Apparently this is not the case. It is an autosomal dominant trait most frequently found in populations which have historically lived in the northern latitudes. Interestingly it may be a cause of sleep apnea. Perhaps I should notify my father of this.
