Toothache ?: Toothache is probably most common cause. Then maybe glands (lymph nodes) around the jaw. Other possibility is sore muscles or tendons around the bony part of the jaw. Lastly and least likely at your age is joint problem at the tmj. Feel around and check for tenderness and swelling, then talk to a doctor to confirm what you may be finding.
