Hi
The symptoms you are sharing is suggestive of condition called Bells palsy. Just RCT Of a molar tooth cannot precipitate this. This happens due to extreme cold weather or an viral infection affecting the nerve center controlling the facial muscles.
You have to treat this immediately with steroids for symptoms not to increase. Kindly consult your dentist at the earliest.
