Hello,
You should not worry. The wisdom tooth may have moved and you see changes. Go to the dentist for an x-ray and re-evaluation for extraction. You can rinse with warm salt water and monitor for changes. Your jaw continues to grow and respond to pressure.
It is common to have lower tori which are bone bumps usually poisitioned more forward near your canines and premolars.
If you feel inflamed or swollen, take anti-inflammatory medication and consult your dentist. Swollen glands, which are usually softer, indicate an active infection. Infection from a tooth can drain and cause a lump. Expansion may be related to a cyst or other growth.
Thank you for your inquiry. I am happy to assist you further with any additional questions.
