Bump?: It could be normal bone, an infection, a growth, or something else. See a dentist to find out for sure.

Mandibular Tori: is a bony growth on the lingual areas of the mandible that is near the cuspid and first bicuspid teeth. Very common.

Genial Tubercle: That's only a guess since you have not been examined. Hard or soft "bump"? That makes a difference, too.
