What Causes The Lumps Along The Inside Of The Lower Gum?
My husband is 35 years old in good health and a nonsmoker. He has just developed four marble sized lumps along the inside of his lower gum (two on each side by his molers). They are very solid and he insists they do not hurt. There is no tooth pain associated with these knots. I am really freaked out!

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
You did not mention how long they are present in his mouth.
This can be a mandibular torus,a rare but,normal anatomy.
I suggest you to consult your dentist for a clinical examination.They do not need any treatment unless they hinder tongue movement.
Hope this helps.
