12. Can It Be Prevented? Unraveling the Myth
A common query surrounds torus mandibularis. Can one prevent it? The answer isn’t straightforward. In fact, it’s layered with complexity.
Given its strong genetic link, prevention seems unlikely. It’s like trying to change one’s height. Genetics dictate the outcome largely.
However, some suggest dietary measures might help. Reducing hard foods, for instance. But concrete evidence is lacking. It’s more theory than fact.
In essence, prevention isn’t really on the table. It’s more about acceptance and understanding. Torus mandibularis is a natural occurrence, not an ailment. (12)
