Well it turned out I had a cracked tooth. I must have been bearing down on it that one day. It took a while to find out the issue because cracks don't necessarily show on x-rays.
Anyway, there was no saving the tooth because the crack was so big. I had it pulled today. There were signs on it that the pulp was dying. It was just a matter of time.
Time for more ibuprofen!
