Hi,
This looks likely to be trigeminal neuralgia. The trigeminal nerve supply the face. Many times it can be Inflammed /irritated to cause shooting pain or numbness in the face.
Mostly it not serious. You should wait. If it persists, or recurs again then you should see a doctor for proper assessment and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
