Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the ulcer secondary to trauma to the mucosa(while brushing or eating) over the torus mandibularis. The other possible cause can be because of the tooth infection that has spread to involve the bone resulting in expansion of the bone. So consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. If it is a torus mandibularis, you can get it surgically removed. If it is a tooth infection then get it treated.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
