Hi Gman,
Thanks for posting your query.
As you had undergone accident,Tmj has to be examined and dislocation/fracture/tenderness if associated has to be ruled out.
An OPG radiograph will help to find out any anomaly underlying.
Avoid mouth opening too widely.
Jaws has to be immobilized if required.
Please do visit an oral-maxillofacial surgeon as well as ENT specialist for further treatment plan.
Meanwhile maintain oral hygiene well.
Avoid exposure to heavy sounds.
Take care.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
As you have met with an accident there could be a chance of TMJ fracture, dislocation, to rule out this you need to visit the Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done, take an OPG radiogarph to confirm the diagnosis.
Other symptoms associated can be pain around ears, tenderness in the jaws, difficulty in mouth opening nad pain on chewing.
For treatment inflammatory medications, heat therapy, rest and in some cases bite splint can be given.
Also consult to an ENT Surgeon and get the checkup done.
Hope this helps out.
