Untitled section

The first thing I noticed is that you did not follow the format provided by Dr. Weiner.
The page is lacking any information about research on this condition, if there has been any or if there has not.
In regards to the treatment section, I like it because it is very well broken down and helps the reader understand better.
Needs more citation!! I only see two.

This is not formatted properly. Use the visual editor, and add headings. If you're struggling with this, please come see me.
Intro is not a section. Do not include a heading for it.
Needs a lot more links to other articles, and a LOT more citations.
There are some grammar and spelling issues. I encourage you to have someone look it over for you. The writing center is an option for this.
Palatine torus occurs more frequently in women and people of Asian descent. The phrasing you put on your page is not accurate. Also, it makes it sound like you are talking about oral torus overall, instead of palatine.
Symptoms are all about palatine, whereas your page also addresses mandibular.
If you reuse a source, just reuse it in the citation manager. Do not cite it separately again. That said, nearly your entire page relies on one source. That is not acceptable. There is a lot of information on your topic out there. Do your research.
You have not used the headings from the rubric and are missing several sections. Right now, this is basically a copying and rearrangement of another page. You have not actually done the assignment. Please come get help from me.

As mentioned above, proper headings are needed.
There are some terms that I think should be linked to their Wikipedia pages.
Research Direction is missing.
You used three sources in total, I would like to see some more sources used.
It is also missing the prognosis and epidemiology sections. I see that you talk about the epi in the introduction, but there is not a separate section for it.
