TMJ, I have Tmj myself , whenever mine acts up i usualy take some naproxen or ibprofen. It helps. if it doesn't clear up id go see a doctor or dentist. It also could maybe be a wisdom tooth pushing in the wrong way. I hope this helped some.

It could be caused by "opening your jaw wide" and/or "clenching your teeth". Why would you be doing that? There must be something bothering your mouth.
If the pain is in the toothy region, then it could be a cavity, a swollen gum, the start of an abcess, or even a fractured tooth.
If the pain is in the muscle area of the jaw,then it's probably just a sore jaw muscle from blowing up balloons, chewing too much gum oe an impacted tooth.
Might even be Temporo mandibular Joint Syndrome if you've had those symptoms for a while.
See your dentist if it's the first symptoms, your chiropractor if it's the other.

I have rasied a few kids and known some adults too that suffer from this. It can be anything from stress to TMJ. Have your dentist check for signs of gridding your teeth, usually at night when you sleep. It can be from stress or parasites. Notice if when the stress diminishes if the pain goes away and notice if you clinch your teeth often while you are awake. That would be the stress part, and simply tired muscles. Simply focus on relaxing. If not have your dentist check you for early signs of TMJ

? Does it hurt if you eat popcorn. I had something like this. The bottom bone of my molar was deteriorationg. I think you should see a dentist and get an x-ray. By the time I did, I thought I would die. I wouldn't wait. You may have a bad tooth. If you do, it's only going to get worse. My throat was even swelling, because it had set up infection, and they couldn't work on it until they cleared up the infection. Tip, if after a tooth is pulled, to numb the pain, you can put a clove on it.

Depending on your age and health, it could be any number of things that your dentist will be able to figure out as soon as he see's you. If you have back problems, it could be caused from that. See your chiropractor. If you are around age eighteen, it's probably wisdom teeth. If you recently had a filling, the bite could be off. You could be bruxing (gritting your teeth) at night, if that's the case, you may want to get a mouth guard. I think from the sound of it though, it's a wisdom tooth. That's my guess.

PUT YOUR FINGERS ON EITHER JAW JOINT AND FEEL FOR A CLICKING OR POPPING WHEN YOU OPEN AND CLOSE. YOU MAY WELL HAVE TMJD, WHICH IS TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISEASE. THIS MAY BE TREATED BY YOUR DENTIST W/O THE NEED OF SURGERY. HAVE AN OCCULAL ANALYSIS DONE BY YOUR DENTIST TO FIND OUT HOW YOUR TEETH COME TOGETHER

It could be a wisdom tooth coming through or a compacted wisdom tooth trying to get through.

Might be TMJ (Temporo Mandibular Joint) or you have your wisdom teeth coming in.

Might be unrelated to oral surgery but I would still bet on an infection
