Suggest Treatment For Broken Molar Tooth
Hi I have had a broken molar for a few years and a cracked filling. I have not gone to the dentist as the last time I visited my dentist for a filling the numbing injection caused very blurred vision and I panniced. Now I have a numb side of my face. the doctor is looking into why but I feel it could be because of the broken teeth on that side of my face. What do you think.

Sorry to say it's not due to the broken tooth.
There are many causes that can cause numbness of the face, few of them are:
Trigeminal neuralgia
Bell's palsy
Stoke
Nerve inflammation
Usually, there is drooling of the face on the affected side. it can be temporary or permanent.
Consult the dentist as early as possible.
When did you visit your dentist last for the filling of the tooth?
