Muscle strain: apply moist heat to the affected side, maybe tension & stress. give it a few days, relax, if not improving see your dentist

Without an examination it is hard to say. If you're missing teeth, opposing teeth may have supererupted and you're biting your gingiva. Have a local dentist take a look
