Where my upper teeth end, there are like two bones on either side. Of which the one on the right is a little bigger. Which cannot be seen from outside, but can be felt by hand. There is sometimes very mild pain. I am 35 years old. Total number of teeth is 32. I want to know if this is my upper wisdom teeth, or bone growth, or is it normal to have this bone on one side? I have attached a picture of myself and taken from the internet for illustration purposes.

Hii.. This is normal anatomical structure - maxillary tuberosity. It's size may vary in every individual. By seeing your pic , it appears to be normal. The reason of pain can be excessive tobacco chewing, food impingement or hot & spicy food intake.
