8. The Age Angle: Is There a Link between Aging and Torus Palatinus?
Aging is an inevitable process, bringing with it a host of physical changes. The question then arises: does age influence the development or prominence of Torus Palatinus? Research into this is still ongoing, but there are some tantalizing hints.
Some studies suggest that as people age, the likelihood of Torus Palatinus becoming more pronounced increases. This might be due to various factors, from bone density changes to shifts in oral health practices. The increased visibility of the growth can be quite intriguing to observe.
Yet, it’s not just about growth. As age progresses, the oral cavity undergoes various changes, which might make the presence of Torus Palatinus more noticeable. From changes in gum health to shifts in the oral microbiome, the entire landscape of the mouth evolves.
This dance between age and Torus Palatinus brings forth several questions. Could the growth be protective in some way? Or is it merely a coincidental development? The answers lie in the intricate tapestry of genetics, environment, and individual biology.(8)
