Hard or soft ?: Make a difference. Can be a bony exostosis or even an abscess. Have your dentist take a look.

Bumps: These types of situations require a one on one clincial exam to determine what if anything is going on. While it might be completely normal or a normal variant, this cannot be determined over the internet, sight unseen (and without x-rays).

Bump: I only wish "bump" was a diagnosis. So many people seem to have one sort of "bump" or another. Any pain, bleeding, or swelling (bump) should be examined. Please see your Dentist for an examination and best advice.
