Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that your tooth is infected, and now an abscess has been formed at the apex of the tooth, and this abscess is leading to numbness , because might have involved any nerve. So better you visit your dentist and get the treatment done.
Hope it will help you.
