What Causes Appearance Of Small Bumps Inside Mouth While Chewing?

Hi, when I bite down or when I m chewing their seems to be the little bumps that appear. But this only happens when I clamp down my jaws. It s located at the back of my jawbone directly below my ear. I always thought that it was a bone but I was also told that it could be a muscle. It doesn t hurt or anything, but I was just curious. I don t think this is the reason but is it because I have a strong jawline. I know that that s probably not the case but I don t know.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having eruption of wisdom tooth so mucous membrane over the wisdom tooth might cause bump like eruption giving this problem.
Consult dentist or oral surgeon and get clinical examination done.
Ok and take care.
