What Causes Numbness In Cheekbone And Lips And Black Eye After Accident?

I fell on my face while snowboarding yesterday afternoon. About 30 hours ago. I have a black eye. 1/4 of the white area of my eye is bloody. No blood in the iris. No effects to eye movement or vision. No pain in the eye. Below my eye is a big puffy bruise and I have numbness in cheekbone and upper lip. A bit of numbness in my teeth and gum area on that side. Do I need to go to the ER?
