Possibly TMJ going on. This is very common. I see my chiropractor right after having dental work done, he makes sure the TMJ is not gong to be a problem. I also see my chiropractor an hour before a dental appt if I am having brace adjustment, bite splint or molds made, it makes sure the work is correctly lined up.
I have the TMJ and wear a night splint.
MAKE SURE YOUR DENTIST IS TOLD ABOUT THE PAIN.

Compression of what nerve causes facial numbness from the upper palate to the eye on one side of face only? Probably the trigeminal nerve. It causes a condition called Bell's palsy. If your one eye is drroping and your smile droops on the same side, go to the doctor. There is treatment for this and it won't be permanent. Some doctors now think this is caused by a virus and may give you Valtrex and /or steroids, short term.
