If you're talking about two bone like bumps that rest under the tongue these are called "Tori." There is actually an "over growth of bone" that causes the development of these. Some people have them and others don't. They serve no purpose and usually don't cause a problem, unless they keep a denture or partial from seating properly, then surgery is needed to remove them.

Hope I've been of some help and that this was you're question. Good luck!

I'm a dentist.

A lot of things present themselves as "bumps". A little more detailed description of your bumps as well as their location would be helpful.

When you say "bottom of my mouth", I'm guessing that you're referring to the area right under your tongue, and the two soft-tissue extensions that look like slimy worms poking out of the floor of your mouth, just to the left and right side of the area where your tongue connects with the floor of your mouth. I'd imagine that, when viewing these bumps in the mirror, the area under your tongue quickly fills up with saliva the more you move your tongue.

These structures are known as the Wharton's ducts, and are the tubes/openings for the submandibular salivary glands.

If you are referring to bumps on your gums, they may be bony extensions called "lingual tori".

Regardless, if something looks out of the ordinary to you have the doctor look at it. It's better to be safe.

These are probably canker (cancre) sores. If they are painful, try putting oragel or orabase on them.
