Unknown: See your dentist. You may have an infection or your jaw joint may be out of joint. A good examination is in order here.

Tmj: Temporo mandibular syndrome. See your dentist. Surprisingly it is often related to poor diet.

Many things: It could be many things, from a dental infection/abscessed tooth, to an inflamed TMJ (the jaw joint), to an erupting wisdom tooth. The best advice i can give is to see your dentist promptly!
