Obviously, visiting a dentist with some experience diagnosing and treating TMD and facial pain would be the best thing to do. It may not need to be a specialist, but it is hard to figure out who has the expertise. If you call and ask whether they can treat jaw pain, I bet every single general dentist you call would recommend you come in. And most could probably help you, FWIW. The exercises and advice linked on TMJ.org are good.
For acute jaw pain, if I believe it to be muscle pain rather than joint pain (yours sounds more like muscle), I will sometimes make an appliance called a QuickSplint. For most jaw muscle spasm issues, it usually provides relief and can help me figure out the underlying cause. It looks like you can just order a kit on Amazon. If wearing it helps, great. If it causes pain in your joint, discontinue.
