Brief Answer: Please meet your ent doctor Detailed Answer: Hello Please dont worry , the numbness can be due to a sinus infection or an infection in your teeth/jaw and you should meet your ent doctor or dentist for this. I would like to know if you are a smoker or if you have worked in a industry like furniture , mining etc? The numbness can also be seen in diabetes and you should get your blood sugar tested. The doctor/dentist may ask you to tke an xray called orthopantomogram and this will help diagnose any infection or mass. Please visit the doctor soon. Thanks
