It hurts when new teeth are cutting through your jaw. Babies suffer from such severe teething pain that many develop fevers and stomach upset. As you get older, you are able to deal better with the pain; but growing a new tooth can still cause soreness. If the pain continues for longer than 2 weeks, or becomes more severe, I would suggest visiting a dentist; as it is possible the tooth may be becoming impacted or developing an infection. In the mean time, you can try sucking on ice, taking ibuprofen, or using a topical anesthetic such as OraJel to ease the pain.

It doesn't mean anything. Your basically teething as a 14 year old (I went through the same thing but got 2 wisdom teeth out of it). If they hurt you after they're fully grown in, your dentist may decide to pull them. If they don't hurt you then your dentist won't remove them (I still have mine and I'm 31).

Count back from the midline.
Your 1st molars (erupt at 6yo) are sixth from front;
your 2nd molars (erupt 12-14yo) are seventh from front;
your 3rd molars or "wisdom teeth" (erupt at 16yo+) are eighth from front.
You are too young to get wisdoms thru yet.

It probably means that just one of them is coming in at this time.
They usually come in one at a time. As long as there is enough room in your mouth for them to come in without being underneath the other molars it will be uncomfortable but liveable.

It just means one of them is bothering you. lol
They don't always hurt at the same time. Some people don't get all of them. It may be awhile before it works it's way to the surface. In the mean time, use orajel on it.

They don't always grow in at the same time, but if they hurt go to hurt dentist and he'll send you to an oral surgeon, who will tell you if they need taken our or not.

it sounds like your wisdom teeth coming in. go to your dentist and they will order x rays to check and then decide if you need them pulled or not.

you could have a infection in there as there growing. you can take antibiotics to clear up the infection (ask a doctor to check it).
