Wisdom teeth: Most common at your age is wisdom tooth pain. However, clenching and grinding may also contribute. See your dentist or Oral Surgeon ASAP.

Definitely: Teeth grinding (bruxism) can cause this and is the most likely diagnosis. Less likely tooth abscess as would likely be more focal. Other cause could be sinus issues. See a dentist for further assistance.

See a dentist ASAP: If you have a toothache, you may have a cavity or advanced gum disease. A tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. You can use NSAID OTC or Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain control. See your dentist ASAP.

Excellent Diagnosis: You've already answered your own question.. you've got decayed teeth, you grind, and most probably clench... all will contribute to pain in your mouth. Please see a dentist ASAP for a complete diagnosis of all of your problems. Forget the pills.. meds to not treat dental decay or grinding problems. They just mask the symptoms.

Need more info: Is there anything that causes the pain (biting, temperature...) or is it spontaneous? Is it sharp and quick or a lingering dull throb? Is it worse when you lay down or bend over? Any broken teeth or untreated decay? When was your last cleaning? Is the pain localized or does it spread? Is the area around your ear sore or does your jaw make clicking or popping sounds? Need to see a dentist.

See a dentist: there are several things that can cause your symptoms including wisdom teeth, grinding, tooth decay and more. The only way to know what is causing your pain is by seeing a dentist for an exam. This can get worse without treatment. Don't delay.

See dentist first: Suggest you see a dentist ASAP. At age 19, third molar eruption or impaction is always a possibility. You state that the state of your dentition is poor, perhaps, caries or gingival issues is the problem in addition. Last but not least, sinus issues can mimic upper tooth pain. If this is the issue, you will be referred to an ENT. Try the most basic first and see the dentist.

Many things: can cause jaw pain. I believe you have answered your own question and know the cause(s). See a dentist asap.

A few things: Tooth decay, bruxism, TMJ, sinus problems. periodontal problems. See oral surgeon for diagnosis/treatment.

Sorry: Can't diagnose you in this forum. You must see a Dentist for differential diagnosis and treatment plan. Pain can be from cavities/abscesses/infections, gum and bone infection, grinding, malocclusion, and so many other causes. Pain pills won't fix your problems, just mask the symptoms as problems worsen. Bite the bullet. See a Pro, a Dentist. Get help making your mouth healthy again.

Horrible Teeth: Horrible teeth, and the problems associated with that can cause pain anywhere in, around or near your mouth. Call a dentist to restore your horrible teeth to health.
