If there is a protrusion in the upper jaw of the mouth, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Clinically, if the protrusion of the upper jaw is located in the center, it is likely to be osteogenesis of the upper jaw, also known as the maxillary eminence. It is mainly located in the middle of the palate. Under normal circumstances, it does not affect the normal life diet and does not need to be treated. If X-ray and CT are taken, it is possible that the protrusion on the upper jaw is not osteogenesis. It is possible that the small salivary glands of the upper jaw show tumors. Malignant salivary gland tumors are often present in the upper jaw, and surgical removal is necessary.
