Unclear: Unclear. Unlikely due to cavity since bilateral I assume pain has resolved If so, don't worry about it. If pain is lingering, see an oral surgeon for assessment.

See dentist first: Make an appointment with your dentist for a complete evaluation for both caries and periodontal issues. It may be as simple as a restoration needs to be replaced or it may be non dental in nature. Check with the dentist first .

Stress related: Many of the patients doctors see for intense jaw pain, are actually expressing psychological distress- anxiaty through physical pain. See your PCP for consultation and your doctor may schedule a follow-up appointment or refer you to a specialist to determine a diagnosis.
