Jaw pain: See either. If you see your Dentist first and he/she rules out a dental problem you will be referred to your Physician for the next screening. If you see your Physician first and he/she rules out a medical problem you will be referred to your Dentist. Doesn't matter where you start. You have a problem that mandates immediate attention. Take the earliest appointment you can get.
