This also happened to me, but i didn't go to the doctor. It just went away on its own after awhile. But I never felt numb. Were you sleeping on it or something? I would definitely wanna see a doc about that.
Maybe the dentist screwed up and a doc can verify it. Then you could sew for malpractice and be a millionaire. :)
Better go to the doctor.
