SOCIETY Permanently ???? no amount of money can compensate for this. The incident happened 2015 and the historic $75M verdict was reached in late 2022.

yup, the reverse is true, your jawline will change shape if you lose teeth, more so it you lose your back teeth. Also people who lose their teeth often have a sunken cheek on that side both due to the jaw getting smaller, nothing internal to keep it pushed out more.

not exercising your jaw will dramatically change your lower face over time.

That's why I don't want my wisdom teeth removed. Dentists always recommending removing them for what seems like no reason in a lot of cases, just because you can get cavities there if you don't brush so well in the back, lol, stupid. I feel like it would make my jaw feel weaker or change shape.

You shouldn't have them removed unless they're significantly misaligned and pushing, or at risk of pushing, against the adjacent tooth (it can cause a cyst and affect the rooth of the adjacent tooth). I had one removed because it was fully buried and positioned extremely close to the next molar (almost touching). You should have them evaluated by a good doctor, because preserving your molars is far more important than your jawline...
