Yes it is completely normal. My daughter was your age and had her wisdom tooth come through. There is a mouthwash you can buy at the pharmacy that has a numbing ingredient in it. Sometimes Aleve will work as well.But I also think you should see the dentist.

It depends where the tooth is erupting. If it is behind the last teeth in your mouth it is probably a wisdom tooth. If however, it's somewhere else you may have an extra tooth (supernumary). If it's a wisdom tooth, keep it clean by rinsing with warm salt water. Take an inflammatory like Advil for the pain. I'd suggest you have your dentist check it out.
