Hi,
Is it possible that you are grinding or clenching your teeth at night?  Many times when you do this it can cause extreme pain, esp if you clench more to the one side.  It may also explain why it is transient in nature.

A night guard could help this but I urge you to have the area evaluated by your dentist to make sure you don't have a chronic infection or something affecting the nerve.

GOOD LUCK!
My best to you,

Hi again,
I really think it's impossible to diagnosis something like that over the internet.  You should probably get to a dentist so the area can be evaluated properly.

GOOD LUCK and do make that appt soon.
My best to you,
Gellia
