hi,
Thank you for your query
kindly tell if you have had a history of any pain and clicking sound while opening and closing of your mouth before the surgery.
Also the pain could be of muscular origin due to excessive opening of mouth for a long time so i would like to know did you experience any excessive force while the dentist was extracting the tooth and if so then the pain could be originating from your joint.
I find this answer helpful
