It could also be a lymph node or salivary gland.

Hello everyone,

Mandibular tori are bony projections, so you can feel bumps on the back of your lower jaw. They don't move since they are bone. If you have a small nodule and it is moving, it probably a lymph node(benign) or a salivary gland. If you are worried, your dentist can take a panoramic x-ray which is a simple procedure to check your jaw bone.
Take care,
Anne
