I cant get help from any dentist now , since I reported one for ripping me off she has put the word out ( lies no doubt) to all the other dentists. Cant get legal help because I cant afford it, one dentist filled a tooth ( long story ) before I knew what was going on , had pain ever since.

@tisme, hi.
this may not help you at all but
I see chiropractors after dental care. Sometime holding your jaw open for a long period of time can cause the TM joint to slip. I get instant relief from a adjustment, which usually lasts until my next dental appointment.
You may just swelling against the nerve that will subside. Sometimes the nerve is close to a filling and it may retract after a time.
Most dentists have professional ethics that would prevent them from causing you harm. Because they also have their reputations to protect, they are unlikely to spread rumors or lies about a patient's complaints among their peers.
Still, it is possible.
I hope you get help.
