Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Numbness at the left part of body may be due to loss of impairment.
I would advice you to visit a dentist and get a thorough clinical evaluation done.
Decayed or impacted wisdom tooth which is inflammed has to be extracted or restored.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Antibiotics along with analgesics has to be administered.
Hope this helps.
