Best would be to see your doc or being examined in an urgent care center. Testing for COVID should be relatively easy and needed specifically if you have had known exposure. An exam will be needed otherwise with/without throat swab based on findings.

If you bare concerned that you have a medical condition, talk to your General Physician about appropriate examination and testing to properly diagnose. There are numerous reasons for sore throat besides Covid. And from your description you can rule out your Dental treatment t being the cause. Stop obsessing and see your GP.
