In brief: Torus Mandibularis ?
This may be the exostosis you are referring to.
No treatment is usually necessary, but they may interfere with the fit of a mandibular denture.

In brief: Normal structure
are simply bony growths in the upper or lower jaws.
These are normal anatomical structures. Tori are usually a clinical finding with no treatment necessary.

Dentistry - Prosthodontics
In brief: Mandibular torus
This is likely what you are noticing.
Best to see your Dentist to be sure. It is a benign bony growth - usually bilateral- which typically stops growing by your 20's . It can be removed by the Oral Surgeon. Good luck.
