No way: No way to tell without an examination. May be anatomy, may be lesion, etc. See Dentist for exam. If you have been seeing Dentist regularly he/she will have a baseline. "Discomfort" signals that the area should be evaluated.

It depends: Hi there, there is a possibility that the bump is a slow growing "torus", a slow boney growth that is considered normal but could be irritating. If the raised area is more "squishy" it could be something else. Only by dental and x-ray image exams would it be possible to know more. Please find a trusted dentist for further diagnosis.
