Considering your age pain on wide opening may be suggestive of erupting wisdom tooth. Examine in that area for any erupting tooth.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist and get necessary X-ray done for proper diagnosis.
Health Tips
Do not try to open your mouth wide. Support your lower jaw while yawning to prevent pain onset.
