Hello
Wisdom tooth is likely to erupt by the age of 17-18. It could be the second molar. Just get a full mouth x ray done to clear out things.
In the meanwhile, warm saline rinses will help.
If the jaw tightness is disturbing, a muscle relaxant can be taken as prescribed by the treating doctor.
Next Steps
Just visit a dentist and get the check up done.

Hello there! I understand your concern. Wisdom teeth start erupting by the age of 17. It could be your second molar tooth which usually erupts by 12 to 14. Mild jaw aches, discomfort, gum swelling at the site of eruption are normal on any tooth eruption. You can attach pics of your teeth and jaw for examination.
Next Steps
If your symptoms are quite severe and unmanageable, please visit your nearest dentist.
Health Tips
Warm saline rinses multiple times a day is the best home remedy. You can also place an ice pack on the face of that side for relief. Avoid hot and spicy food till this settles. It should settle in a day or two.
Take care.
