Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The numbness could be because of the injury or pressure over the nerve by a cyst or tumor. The feeling of the moving jaw towards one side could be because of facial nerve palsy. Consult a oral physician and get these two conditions ruled out.
If the numbness is caused secondary to cyst or tumor you have to get it surgically treated.
you can also take nerve regenerating drugs like capsule neurobion.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
