Jaw and tooth pain started after filling and crown prep, what can I do? (Photo)

invisalignxy
Dentist removed cavities & did filling (circled in green) then trimmed the tooth for crown and placed temp. Next day it started to hurt on jaw joint below the ear but the tooth hurts only at one spot (highlighted in red) when touched. With ibuprofen 400 pain goes away but reappears after 10-12 hours. Dentist did x-ray again and said roots are fine and don't see any issues. He applied something for sensitivity and placed temp crown back. Pain still continues after ibuprofen wears off. Pls help.
