Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of right-sided tingling sensation in the face and pressure in the ears which is because of nerve impingement or pressure on nerve either due to infected tooth and pressure build up.

Need not to worry about it. Visit dentist once and get it examined to rule out nerve compression , neuralgia or other conditions like neuropathy. Go for physical therapy of facial muscles. Avoid opening mouth extreme wide while jawing. If it is not due to dental related cause visit neurologist once and get it examined. Doctor may prescribe MRI of brain as it could be related to stroke. Neurotropic medication such as nerve supplement , methylcobalamin is effective to improve your symptoms.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
