It is probably one or two things--that is a very general statement but the problem can't be diagnosised without seeing you. It can be some dysfunction or muscle spasm in the TMJ area or the teeth in that area have a problem and your are getting similar symptoms that you might get with a TMJ problem.

hard too say without seeing you. could be decay, symptomatic wisdom teeth, tmj pain. you need to be seen by a dentist and xrays need to be taken. if you get swelling or a fever go as an emergency patient.
