bad occlusion: When pain cannot be isolated into 1 or 2 teeth, malocclusion (the way your teeth fit together) probably is the main etiology. A chipped tooth is not as important as the wear facet on surfaces. Malocclusion can be fixed by just grinding selected spot on teeth (referred to as occlusal adjustment) in the simple case to moving teeth orthodontically (braces) to making crowns (prosthodontically).

Many things: You may have problems with your gums, a cavity, a sinus condition, and you may be grinding your teeth as well. So many possiblities, and that's why you need to be examined locally by your dentist. S/he will determine what is causing your discomfort and give you options as to how to treat.
