Get checked again: Although a dislocation may be a possibility especially if it was pulled with effort. I am more concerned about infection and you need to get it checked by your dentist. Take care.

TMJ syndrome: You might be suffering from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) syndrome. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tmj/basics/definition/con-20043566. Rest is key. use OTC pain relievers if necessary. If that's not enough, then go see your Dentist. You'll need to follow up anyway so that would be a good time to mention jaw pain.
