You could have a cavity. Go to your dentist to get an xray to see if it is. They will fill it and you'll feel better.
Although tooth pain can be caused by very many different conditions. A non-specific dull, ache or tingliness in the area affecting one side of the upper jaw is commonly a site for the prodrome of HSV-I infections. This is the causative agent of cold sores, so if you have them, this may be a clue that you're about to get a cold sore. The reason for this pain is that HSV hides in the trigeminal ganglion, which provides innervation to this area in the face. It also provides innervation to most half of the face; so extension of the pain to the cheekbone and around the eye can be commonly found. This is simply a potential scenario, take it for what it is, merely one of the many potential causes of your pain.

Toothache - Could It Be More Then Just a Little Pain? (Part 1 of 7)

What is a Toothache?
A “Toothache” can usually be referred to as pain that is felt around the teeth and or jaw. The cause of a toothache in most cases is by either problems with your jaw and or tooth. In most cases you (and I am talking from experience here) you would just leave it and wait for the pain to subside, but this isn’t the correct thing to do.
Toothaches are a sign that there may be more to worry about then just a little pain. The causes of toothache are several but the major causes are, dental cavity, a cracked tooth, exposed tooth root, gum disease, disease of the jaw joint or spasms of the muscles used for chewing. It is possible for the cause of a toothache to originate from an entirely different problem such as heart attack or angina but this is quite rare. It can be noted however that some patients suffering angina will show toothache or jaw pain as the only symptoms so it is always best to let your dentist or doctor evaluate you.
