I have a pea sized lump in my cheek. It's not painful, but it has me nervous. Who do I have check it out, my doctor or my dentist?

OMFS (Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon)

It's in between a dentist and a doctor. They'll be able to do biopsy etc on it.

In the cheek, right in front of where my jaws meet. I can feel it from the inside and outside of my mouth.

Could be something normal like a mucocele. Either have the dentist or an oral surgeon check it out.
