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.
