Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that something on the bone under the tooth just at the root can be conditions like a Periapical cyst, bone cyst, bulbous and enlarged root etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon or an Oral Pathologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x rays,MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As it is not painful presently you need not to worry as no treatment is needed presently..
Once the cause is ruled out it can be treated either by treating the tooth or surgical intervention..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
