Hello! Thank you for posting here. Your wisdom tooth can cause pain in your jaw on and off. I suggest you to get it treated first. However, this does not cause any numbness in your arm. I suggest you to see a general physician regarding this if you suffer another episode. This on and off pain in your jaw suggests an infection in your tooth. You must get your wisdom tooth removed if it is the cause. A clinical examination is absolutely necessary to help you. You must take a full course of amoxicillin 500 mg and a painkiller(this is for temporary relief)A treatment like removal of the tooth or root canal will only completely eliminate infection. Also take a month course of Nerve plus. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Do not postpone your dental visit as there are chances of progression of infection. Regards.
