IDK: The only way to know what's the issue is to have your own dentist check it out. It could be any number of things and cannot be diagnosed (or treated) over the internet.

So I have an issue. Some of the back teeth in my lower jaw on the left side hurts if I chew down on food or if I brush my tongue on it. It happens for a day, stops for a few weeks, then picks back up. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull pinching pain.
