Hello, Your symptoms are appearing to be due to nerve related problem that can be due to trigeminal neuralgia as trigeminal nerve is nerve of face and short bouts of severe pain are commonly seen due to trigeminal neuralgia only. It is less likely to be due to tooth related problem. So my suggestion is to consult an oral surgeon and get evaluated so that he can rule out the exact cause as general dentist has a bit of limitation in treating this problem. If trigeminal neuralgia is suspected then an MRI scan can be done for diagnosis. You can be advised neurotic painkillers like Carbamazepine, Gabapentin for relief after a confirmed diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
