Could be either: Could be stress or clenching/grinding. Symptoms could be similar if your recent dental work opened up your bite to a vertical dimension that you aren't able to tolerate.

Bruxing or Clenching: Questions: do you grind your teeth? Did your dentist recommend an occlusal appliance. Was the bonding placed because your teeth were worn and chipped. Does your jaw pop or click? Does your jaw feel sore when you wake up? All of these questions lead to grinding. I would recommend your montra of relax be happy, easier said than done though. Get an occlusal guard made only by a dentist, recommended.
