Brief Answer:
Advised MRI and CT Scans

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

Please note that your problem is not localized to teeth and jaw.It has also involved the hand.That clearly shows this is neurological problem.Therefore please consult a neurologist for suggestions in this regard.

I am very much sure that these symptoms are related to functioning of brain and spinal cord and there nervous distribution.

Parasthesia or numbness happens only when there is abnormality detected in nerves.Therefore please see your neurologist to the earliest.It might requires other scans like MRI and advanced CT scans.

Hope it helps.
Let me know for further doubts.
Thanks.
Take care.
