Hi there ~
I understand your concerns. It is not unusual to have tori on both sides of your mandible. There are no adverse effects, however if they are hurting you need to use local or systemic analgesics. I believe your dentist was right when you were told that the pain usually goes away and the tori do not need treatment. I also think that you need not be worried about the wound. It may help to know that time is the greatest healer in your case. I hope this relieves your anxiety.
Take care and have a lovely day!
