First of all you should specify the area of pain whether you are having pain in teeth or you are having pain while opening or closing of the jaw and if you are having pain while opening and closing then it may b due to the muscle spasm or tmj joint problem.
Next Steps
consult a oral and maxillofacial surgeon
