further update: due to the insane costs this would cost, im reserving it for the nuclear option. ive also identified that i likely have severe periodontitis on the left side of my mouth, pushing into the front and maybe a little into the right HOWEVER the right side is significantly better
update for yall i might end up going to the ER on friday if the dental clinics i called dont get back to me tomorrow with something soon-ish, bc i suspect i may have an abscess(es) in my mouth. might take the opportunity to check out other stuff ive had going on.
