Primary care: This is well within the training & experience of most primary care docs. If they think you need specialty care they will know where you can find it in your region.

Jaw pain: Depends on the cause. Some causes of jaw pain are best treated by a Dentist, other causes by a Physician. See your General Dentist AND your General Physician to begin thediagnostic process. Once cause has been determined your Generalist will provide the appropriate treatment or refer you to the appropriate specialist. The key is appropriate diagnosis, so seek quality care.
