There are literally hundreds of lower jaw growths and it would be irresponsible to answer this question any way other than you should get it checked by a professional, preferably an oral surgeon who can, if needed, take a biopsy. That said, benign growths are by far more common. The most common is a torus, a bony growth on the mandible usually just below the gum line.
