The numbness could be due to 3rd molar extraction and since it's there for a year , it's better to consult with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

Since it's a year and just to clarify the numbness persisted in the same region since then? Usually third molar or wisdom tooth extraction sometimes leads to complications like the one you have mentioned.
Next Steps
Seek an opinion from an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. You can also get an X-ray done before the consult.
Health Tips
Its usually a very slow recovery and might take some more time.
