It is possible: That infection from a tooth can affect certain sensory nerves that serve the facial areas where the nerve distribution is found. Altered sensation or tingling needs to be figured out.  Seek examination for this infected tooth issue issue with your dentist as soon as possible. There are other causes as well and additional exams with other health care providers may be needed. Good luck!

Question 9

question about my eyes, i started to see blurry from one day to another? from one day to another i started seeing blurry and my eye sight has always been perfectly fine. my eyes kind of burn sometimes. sometimes i feel really weak, i notice a lot more whe

Accepted Answer

This : This may be simply dryness.  Before going to any eye doctor, get some over the counter tears like blink or thera tears and use 4-6 times a day and see if the problem goes away.  If not, you can always make that appointment with an ophthalmologist.

Question 10

only one of my eyes has bad eye sight. is this rare?

Accepted Answer

No: This is very common and is called amblyopia.  Eyes develop based on the ability to see, so if one of your eyes is not allowed to see well as a child it may never develop the connection to the brain that will allow it to see.  If you have vision only in one eye, it is very important to see an ophthalmologist if you have not been formally diagnosed as there are many treatable causes of vision loss.
