Best way i can explain the pain/numbness/tingling is to compare it to local anesthetic/novacaine wearing off from dental work. ?

Possible infection: It most likely is a dental infection which is putting pressure on nerves that innervate your face and teeth. Nothing we can do for you over the internet, so search for a local dentist and be seen as an emergency. Failure to immediately treat this issue can result in the spread of the infection, severe pain, and even in rare cases permanent damage.

Diverse symptoms: Seem to indicate an infection, either bacterial or viral. But there are other possible causes, such as neurologic. Start with your Dentist ASAP to see if the problem is oral in location. If not, then see your physician.
