Jaw Pain After Dentist

I went for my routine cleaning at the dentist two days ago and expected a little soreness of my jaw and back gums around my wisdom teeth. However, the pain in my jaw is still present, and so bad that i can barely open my mouth halfway to eat, and when I swallow it feels like I have strep throat. The dentist did a lot of evaluating of my jaw bone during the appointment since i have minor TMJ disorder, but my TMJ disorder does not cause pain like I am experiencing now. Is there a chance of some sort of infection or anything? I don't know what to do about this - it feels like my wisdom teeth have been taken out or that I have a severe case of strep throat. Anyone have any suggestions?

Seeing a tmj or orofacial pain specialist is advised.
