What Causes Lump On Jaw Indicate?

Hi On the fight side of my jaw toward the rear, there is a movable hard lump. I ve had it for years. My prior dentist said it was a swollen or blocked gland. But again that was at least 4 years ago. I ve since switched dentsts. And am with naval doctors who I refuse to even bring it up to. I was just curious what you may think it be. It doesn t hurt or anything.
