I hope thats all it is or as you mentioned that by forcing your mouth open they pushed it just a little too far and now its hurting. You are still recovering as just finishing treatments fairly recently. Keep up your good nutrition and hydration plus add some high protein whey powder (found in most drug stores by the ensure) to help with your healing.
Best wishes!!!
