I had wisdom teeth removed at just a few years older than you. What happens is that the wisdom teeth are located at the very back, laying hidden under your furthest back molars. So when one starts to slowly work its way up it can hurt because the molar that belongs there is slowly being pushed out of place so it can hurt. Where it hurts and how it hurts may be due to the persons roots and how they lay in the jaw and actual place of the molar.
If not wisdom teeth, then a nagging soreness could be the first stages of something more serious, an infection in the gums and jaw below the tooth or a cavity that can't be seen by your eyes. A visit for check up to the dentist will show in exrays if its wisdom teeth and then your dentist could refer you to a Dr. who does oral surgery. In case its an infection in the gums and jaw, You may want to discover that now at the beginning before it becomes a raging pain that pretty much is way worse to me than period cramps. Also at that later point, the infection could have spread through the body to the liver and people have died of this kind of infection. If you've been seeing a dentist regularly, a wisdom tooth could have begun moving since your last checkup. It's better to make an appt to see him to find what is going on.
