The world's first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030.
I only have one implant but god, it’s super fucking annoying. And basically all my molars are filled. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss frequently, and mouth wash before bed but got unlucky genetics
same here. everyone in my family before me was missing teeth by like 30. I have floss and I brush multiple times per day, only drink sugar free things like water and tea.
Anyone who values you less because of your appearance is not worth your consideration.
This does discount physical and medical consequences, which are absolutely worth noting, but whether others notice your missing tooth should not be an issue.
It makes sense and is understandable that you would feel sensitive about it, including wanting the tooth back, but its absence does not reflect upon you as a person and ideally you don’t feel bad about it.
This isn’t meant to dismiss trauma, but help with any insecurity. Personally, I’d rather hear what you have to say rather than whether you can chew adequately.
Hopefully you get your tooth back if its absence is causing you stress.
edit: I don’t mean to invalidate any of your feelings on the subject. I don’t have any visibly missing teeth, but my mother very prominently did. If anything I said above isn’t accurate, I certainly yield to you, but I hope that something above helps.
Wish I could trial this. My front one is missing at the moment, I have to speak super softly so it doesn’t show.
