This is probably cope, and a grasping for straws considering that I'm already starting to feel generalized pain, not to mention my age, but any advice or guidance would be sincerely appreciated.
General rundown is that I've been dealing with a generalized feeling of pain near my lower left jaw. Went to go see the dentist, wondering what the cause could possibly be. They run a cbct scan, and come to find out they discover that my wisdom teeth are erupting. Pretty surprising because my old man and mom don't have any wisdom teeth, and neither do any of my other siblings or relatives.
The wisdom teeth on my right side are coming in without issue and don't look like they'll be impacted. I'm relatively certain that those are erupting without issue because that's been my dominant chewing side because I had lots of cavities on my left side during adolesence, and so I likely stimulated enough bone stress and growth to accomodate the space to have them fit. That's also the side of my face that is significantly more attractive, but that's beside the point.
Getting my wisdom teeth extracted is something I'm not gonna let happen. It would inevitably result in bone loss, and a host of other negative ramifications. I'm willing to go through with spending any amount of money to prevent having to get them removed. I've already been chewing falim gum 4 hours a day, but any jaw growth that would occur is likely negligible and not impactful enough given the time frame I'm working with.
tl;dr - left side of my face has wisdom teeth erupting impacted because I didn't chew enough on that side during my adolesence. Unwilling to get them extracted given the negative, long-term side effects of an extraction. Need assistance on evaluating what my options for recourse are.
