thanks for your query, you have multiple issues..basically you have TMJ disorder that can be treated by the night guard and piroxicam tablets..if the pain doesnt reduce then you have to take a MRI and can go for joint lavage with saline(arthocentesis)....the pain in the gum line could be because of the gum infection get yourself examined by your physician for deposits over the teeth and get it cleaned..the numbness could be because of pressure over the nerve by any tumor or cyst...consult your oral physician to rule out all these issues...i hope my answer will help you,,take care
