Several things: It could be tmd involving inflammation of your jaw joint capsule. If it's the upper back teeth that are sore, it could relate to maxillary sinusitis.It could be plaque induced root sensitivity or it could be all 3 and more. You need a comprehensive dental exam to narrow down the possibilities.

Possible TMJ problem: Your symptoms are compatible with someone who has a TMJ problem. You should have an evaluation by your dentist or a specialist who can determine what is causing your symptoms and either treat you or refer you to someone who can.

TMJ dysfunction: The muscles and ligaments that cause your jaw to move are not working smoothly. If you chew gum stop. Eat softer foods next 2-3 weeks. Apply moist heat to the joint area. Stress plays a big role in triggering TMJ problems. Find activities to help reduce your stress level. See your dentist for more detailed help.
