Large Hard Bump Bottom of Gums (see picture)

[saxon11]

I'm a 43 year old male, take very good care of teeth (floss, brush, rinse every night). I was going through my normal routine and notice this large rather hard bump along the bottom of my gum. I have never had anything like this. My next 6 month checkup isn't for 3 weeks yet. Is there something I should be concerned with? There is no pain (at least yet). thank you

Good day

This could be a normal bony exostosis, or it could be something else. What is needed here is an x-ray of the associated area to determine if it is something sinister or not.
