TMjoint issue: This is related to a problem with the TMJoint. Bring this to the attention of the dentist who treated you. Have it also evaluated by a dentist who has extensive training and experience treating patients with TMD\TMJ problems. Hot moist heat, soft diet, NSAIDS if you can take them meanwhile.
