Can Severe Tooth Infection Cause Pain In Arm,chest And Jaw?

Hi. I have had an aching left arm and chest pain same side for a few weeks now. Also have aching jaw same side. Have just been released from hospital. Tests on heart checked out ok. Now I have woke up this morning with same symptoms and realise my last remaining wisdom tooth on left side bottom is cause of aching jaw. Very painful to touch. Could I have a severe tooth infection that has spread.
