Trauma?: Was this the result of an accident, or some traumatic injury? If yes, then need to see an oral surgeon. If you broke your wisdom tooth due to large decay, then it is likely infected, and you need to see an oral surgeon also.

Pain/infec. spreads: The pain symptoms you describe over this large an area starting from a broken tooth indicates infection that should be treated with antibiotics immediately or risk spreading to other parts of your body: brain, ear, eye. A visit to the dentist with an xray will determine if other teeth are involved with this infection besides the wisdom tooth. Act quickly to avoid a hospital trip.
