Pain in jaw: You may be clenching or grinding your teeth. A professional hard night guard made by your dentist is the best thing for clenching at night. It should protect your teeth and tmj, and alleviate pain. It also may be an infection in a tooth, so see your dentist right away for evaluation and treatment.

MAL- OCCLUSION: Your bite could be high on that side causing pain or you could have a TMJ problem.See a dentist as soon as can.Also could be a periodontal{gum] problem.
