without seeing where it hurts it would be difficult to know what is wrong but i will make a suggestion that you go to the dentist soon so that they can see the problem.
it could be a cavity forming which may need a filling or it could be an abcess emerging or even the start of gum disease. probems with teeth are best getting checked out as soon as possible so the cause can be found and a solution met.
tooth problems left will only get worse.

Why not book a dentist appointment, and ask your dentist. They probably have a better answer and more ways to help.

Is it sensitive to hot or cold? It could an abscess or it could be nothing. You do not give enough info. It could be a simple bruise but it really needs to be looked at. An x-ray will determine the cause.

It could be a variety of things. You're old enough where your wisdom teeth might be coming in. You may not feel them erupting yet but they could slowly be pushing through the gums. It may also be from decay. Is it sensitive to hot, cold, sweets or chewing? If so it's more likely decay than an erupting wisdom tooth. Push on the area with your finger to see if you can feel one of the cusps pushing through. Go to the dentist and have them take an x-ray of the area or a PAN. Good luck.

it could wisdom problems or a cavity
