Hello,
Welcome to practo.
As you said it is Bony hard it can be maxillary tori. If it is tori you don't need to worry. If it looks like hard swollen mass you needs to visit a dentist.
It needs to be evaluated it may be maxillary cyst if it is not addressed it will grow though it is not fetal.
Hope my answer will help you.
