The left side of my mouth goes numb and droops down like someone who has bell's palsy but mine doesn't stay like that. what is wrong?

Please clarify: Did you mean after you see your dentist? If not, it is important you get checked out immediately by a physician for a possible heart condition. An unexplained shooting pain or numbness in the jaw could potentially be a sign of a heart attack.
