Depends: Usually a dental x-ray can identify this, since you see the entire tooth when taken propperly (recall when the dentist shows you yours you see the whole tooth--root and all). There is much less radiation in an x-ray than in a ct, which is a series of closely-spaced x-rays. Talk to your dentist.

Please see a dentist: A standard x-ray should be adequate to check for fractures. You need to make sure there isn't an infection or bite issues. Tmj is also a possiblity. Please see a dentist.

CBCT: You are better off with a cbct scan. We use the galileos cone beam computed tompgraphy. Very low radiation: about a week of normal back round radiation dose can see full skull in one 14 second scan.
