Wisdom teeth?, TMJ?: At your age, could be wisdom teeth, with referred pain to ears. Alternatively, could be TMJ pain. See oral surgeon, if wisdom teeth, he/she will discuss options. If TMJ, see TMJ expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referral

Dental evaluation: There are a number of things that can cause your pain and it will take a dental exam to determine exactly what is going on. You are at the age where wisdom teeth are erupting or you may have a TMJ problem.. See a dentist asap.
