I fell off my bike yesterday and took impact to my jaw, now whenever I try to open it, it hurts along my face and up to my ear. It also hurts when I chew food and my teeth feel in different allignment to before. Do I have TMJ? and Should I go to the Dentist?
 
No. You probably just strained or bruised it. TMJ is caused by clenching or grinding you teeth from stress. You've had a trauma, it's different. Wait a few days and if it doesn't go away or gets worse go get an xray done to make sure you didn't break or chip anything.
