I've been missing a tooth right in the front of the top row for a few months now. It's actually been kind of interesting. I have a fake tooth but I never wear it. People treat me differently when they notice. Soon I'll have a gold tooth which will be even cooler.
...never booked any real dental work, and so that was my first visit to the dentist, as an adult. Currently recovering, but the pain is definitely not as bad as the initial eruption!!
