Do they feel like ridges? If so, they are totally normal and nearly everyone has them! They are called "palatal rugae".

EDIT: I was thinking the one of the reasons someone might not have palatal rugae is because of cleft palate or another medical condition.

I am a dental assisting student.

Palatal Rugae is correct! It would be abnormal if you didnt have them I am an RDH and I have never seen someone without them.
