Jaw pain: This cannot be answered with a clinical and visual examination. Even though you have dentures, you should have periodic dental examinations to check your oral health and the fit of your dentures. Make an appointment to see a dentist (ASAP if the pain has lasted more than 7-10 days).

Possible: hard to say based on what you wrote, but definitely would go have your condition evaluated by your dentist or an orthodontist.

See specialist: You should probably see a prosthodontist, a specialist who fabricates dentures, for an examination and he will be able to tell you what you need and can help you with your jaw pain.
