Are you sure ?: I would hesitate to see why a dentist would be injecting you with "a huge" dose of steroid. If you were having a temporal mandibular joint problem possibly, but i would assume that it would have been explained adequately as to why you were given the steroid. Please check if it was steroid and why. Then get 2nd opiniion if necessary.

Sounds irregular: Sounds highly irregular. See a dentist. Speculating on your situation without an examination is nothing more than guessing... Best of luck to you.
