Your mouth may have been open wide long enough to strain the muscles and perhaps the joint. Call the doctor who treated your tooth and ask what to do. You need a diagnosis before any treatment is recommended. You may need referral to an Orofacial pain specialist. Until you see the dentist, rest your jaw and avoid hard foods and wide opening. You can use hot or cold compresses, depending on which one helps the most. You can use ibuprofen or naproxen if you tolerate these drugs well
