Popcorn kernal: You probably fractured a tooth. This is one of the most common causes of fractured teeth. The fracture may be severe enough to have injured the nerve, which would cause referred pain to your jaw and head. Even if the pain subsides, with or without pain medication, you should have the tooth examined by your dentist for necessary treatment.

Cracked tooth: You may have cracked or broken a tooth when you bit on the popcorn kernel. You would problably notice it if you broke part of the tooth , but if you just cracked the tooth you would not notice anyting missing or broken off just the pain, which could be intense. See a dentist as soon as you can. In the meantime you can take some ibuprophen for pain and avoid eating on that side.
