At first I thought I had a wisdom tooth coming in in the back, but I was at the dentist 2 months ago and he said even the xrays show no signs of wisdom teeth coming in. It feels like theres a couple of sores, one behind my back right tooth and one on my inner cheek, but its making my ENTIRE right side of my mouth hurt! When I talk or eat it hurts, even my ear hurts. Whats going on??

The cause is like that of migraines but the knots you have should be gotten to with one finger in your mouth and the other out.
#1 drink about 1/2 gallon of water per day - the head of neurology at UCDavis (about 10 years ago) likened a car low on oil to a body low on water (engine seizing up).
#2 Daily muscle relaxer (1 or 2 swigs of molasses or 1 or 2 bananas) they contain magnesium and potassium.
#3 Massage therapy - professional or read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies (it teaches you how). The principle that causes the headaches regardless of how severe is that muscles get knots (trigger points), which make the muscles stay tight, which press on nerves.
Your back, shoulders, neck and everywhere on your head will definitely play into the cause and it will take a while to get all the trigger points to go away.

I was at the oral surgeon today for some gum surgery. It hurts in my mouth too! But at least I know that it is healing. Warm salt water helps. Smoking and drinking irritate your gum tissues, so back off on that. You may have an abscess, or some gum disease. I learned something new today: when they numbed me for the procedure, my face was numb right up by my eye. That's why they call the "eye teeth" the eye teeth. In the olden days, they could tell by looking at your eye if you had an infected eye tooth, because they are connected by nerves. So the fact that your ear is hurting possibly means that the tooth that is connected most closely by a nerve is infected.

I've known people who've had the same type of pain and sores you've described. It sounds like you might have an abscessed tooth. The problem with abscesses is they can be hard to diagnose at times. One particular person I'm thinking about knew she had an abscess, (she had them before) and the dentist couldn't find any external problems. She had to go to a specialist to get diagnosed properly.

whoa. ok so your ear hurts too...
ok, you may be suffering from an infection or inflammation but in this point of time, we are not certain yet. necessary lab tests and consultations has to be made for the correct diagnosis. the ear is a delicate part of the body and we could not jump into hasty conclusions now.
it is advisable that you consult a physician even a general medicine practitioner. referrals to specialists will be made if necessary.
