Could The Nerve Problem In The Tooth Be The Cause For Numbness On Left Side From Shoulder To Foot?

I have numbness on my left side,from the shoulder to my foot. Unable to feel hot or cold.
It started a couple of days ago.
I had an issue with a tooth, no cavity, a nerve issue, according to my dentist. Could this cause this issue. I was advised to take ibuprofen,which I have been doing
Please advise,
thanks Bruce

hi,thanx for your query.tooth has nothing to do with numbness from shoulder to foot.Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve condition of the extremities causing numbness, tingling, and pain. a physical nerve injury type condition (e.g. a nerve entrapment or some type of pressure being applied to a nerve directly or to the spinal attachment of that nerve), or a disease condition affecting the nerves (e.g. neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes.hope this is helpful. please visit neurologist .
