Exostosis: If it has been there for a while, it may be a bony outgrowth called exostosis. If it appeared suddenly see your dentist for an evaluation.

See the dentist: A thorough examination and a radiograph (x-ray) will be enough to diagnose the bump. In that area it is possible that it could be a tooth related infection even though you don't have a cavity there now. It could also be a benign bony projection. Best to see your dentist for an evaluation.
