Hello
See if you are experiencing pain along with sound while opening and closing your mouth that means there is some problem in your bite as well as the TMJ joint. You definitely have to visit a dentist especially an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is also a TMJ specialist. Just get a consultation done.
No need to be scared before visiting a dentist. You just have to go for a consultation so that a proper examination can be done and the doctor will be able to guide you better what all is needed for the treatment
