re: The bones (tori?) under my tongue freak me out

I have buccal mandibular tori on both sides. Every time a dentist exams me he says he’s never seen them that big but apparently they formed because I have a strong bite.
They don’t bother me so no need to remove them.

Those are called exostosis/es. They are tori, just in the buccal location instead of lingual location. I have seen some so large, they form a "shelf" and can trap food above or below them in the vestibule. All types of tori have a hereditary component but yes, clenching can also contribute to extra bony growths.
