Looks like due to exertion..
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for writing to us..
Well, it is uncommon to find such symptoms post a dental treatment, however there is a possibility that your body might have gone into over-exertion due to long dental sitting..
As you have already mentioned that you have been very tense in the dental chair, therefore your muscles must have contracted excessively and it can be a potent cause for the pain and twitching..
Also can you please tell me that are you taking any medication post dental treatment like antibiotics and painkillers, if yes please name them.
If yes, are the painkillers relieving pain?
Also do you have any medical problems or are you on any long term medication?
Do you have any known allergies?
Please revert back with answers..
Regards.

I am on antibiotics since i cracked my tooth.
Alphamox amoxycillin 500mg 3 times per day and i have three days left, i am also taking reflux medication zabeprazole 20mg
I have also had some voltaren rapid 12.5 ( diclofenac potassium)for the pain and that has helped.
