Question:
Mouth grooves on the roof of mouth?
what are the groves at the roof of the mouth for? everyone has them, its like when you run your tongue over the roof, there are grooves. what are they for?
Answers:
If you are talking about the bumps behind your front teeth, they are called rugae and are skid bumps for your food. A definition from my dental hygiene text - "palatal rugae- the irregular ridges in the mucous membrane covering the anterior part of the hard palate" Totally normal! Hope that helps.
