Depends what U mean: parestheia is not normal. The most common reason for such is damage to a nerve during a tooth extraction, esp during wisdom tooth extraction. The other reason is impingement of the facial nerve, such as due to parotid gland lesion.

Yes: An infection in the bone can cause pressure on specific nerves which innervate your face and result in paresthesia.
