Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain No, loss of strength in your arm is not related to toothache and seems to be some different issue..
It can be a nerve or muscle related disorder and for ruling out the cause a thorough clinical evaluation is a must..
I would suggest you to consult a Neurologist and get evaluated..
For toothache consult an Oral Physician and get an x ray done..
If tooth can be saved you will be advised Root Canal Treatment followed by capping of tooth..
If there is gross decay extraction is advisable...
As of now you can anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for pain relief and do cool compresses over the cheek..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
