Numbness In The Teeth.Cause?

When I bite down on my tooth it feels like it's numb, but I also get this tender pain. It kind of feels like how it would feel if a dentist froze it. I'm just wondering what may be wrong with my tooth? This has been going on for a few weeks now, but I do not have the money to have it taken care of. Is my issue serious?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The numbness in the teeth can be because of the nerve injury(neuropraxia) secondary to the pressure on the nerve by the impacted wisdom tooth or any cyst or benign tumor. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out these pathologies, later based on the cause we can treat accordingly.
If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take capsule neurobion(multi vitamin supplement) which helps in nerve regeneration. Regarding your financial issue, you can go to a educational institute which is attached with a dental hospital, where you can get the treatment and radiographs for free or at a nominal price. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
