I have an important question to ask!?

Question

Years ago when I was homeless I was also mentally ill and did not care for myself properly like brush my teeth when I needed to, and as a result of such stupidity one of my fronmt teeth is a little bit chipped, when I went tto my dentist to ask him to fill it in with tooth filler he said nothing can be done as it is not fully chipped and so cant be filled.But I am still a bit self conscious about it and want to ask out women in the future but how wil I be able tio find a female companion if my tooth looks like this?I know it was stupid of me not to take care of myself I was just going through hard times in my life, what do I do?Is there no sort of surgeon who can operate on my tooth to fill it in?I think the dentist was trying to make a point of how it's not really all that noticeable a he did not notice at first until I had to show him properly, I am really embarassed about it and I am scarred for life!

Answer 1

get another dentist. they can do anything if they want to....and why is this in royalty?

Answer 2

If the dentist didn't notice it until you pointed it out then it most probably isn't at all noticable.

One thing that puzzles me is why is the question in Royalty???

Answer 3

He probably wont do it without u paying.

I expect he views it as being cosmetic.

If it bothers u that much can u not get it done privately as a cosmetic job. Mind, it will cost a penny or two.

Do u think a woman would be put off just because of chip on a tooth? Surely, not.

Answer 4

dunno exactly how your tooth is, but about 1/4 of my front tooth is missing (I was playing keepie uppie with a rock....=s) so its a good proportion of it, and that has been fixed my my dentist fine, looks absolutely perfect....i forget i even have a bit of false tooth sometimes, and noone knows unless i tell them....also my bottom tooth used to be uneven....had a very very slight chip in it, and my dentist sanded the other part down to make it even again.....if yours is inbetween those two i dunno there may be a problem....but im pretty sure problems like that can be fixed....u should try another dentist i think......

p.s. oh about the keepie uppie with the rock thing....firstly i was about 9 at the time and secondly I was really really bored lol

Answer 5

I have dentures, I'm only 38. I lost my teeth from have to many children . I understand . I would say go to another dentist and see about crowns or veneers. . Some people don't care about things like that . If it bugs you , try to fix it. It is about your confidence .

GOD BLESS

Answer 6

a chip or break in your tooth King Stu is not enough for women to walk away from you... if you have personality, compassion, humour and the rest of your face and body in propotion then women will like you and not even notice the crack/break/chip.

However, if it does really bother you I believe it can be fixed, have you ever seen that show "extreme makeover" from the USA?  They can fix any snaggletooth smile or broken teeth so it is possible, however I imagine it is very expensive and time consuming.  You need to find a dentist that can give you a truthful answer - and refer you to a specialist that does that kind of work.  It is probobaly not the kind of work handled by your adverage dentist, thats why the dentist you asked wasnt much help.  good luck.  (Ps I only called you king stu as a kind of Joke becasue I didn't expect to find this kind of question in the Royalty section, I didnt mean it to be offensive)

Answer 7

If I were you I would worry more about not being homeless again and keeping ontop of your mental health, forget the chip on your tooth.

Answer 8

It mustnt be that noticeable but if youre really self conscieous you could have it done privately but it would cost a small fortune

Answer 9

Blimey that was a bit long winded !   Go to your dentist and see about an inlay.

Answer 10

why is this ? in Royalty?

Answer 11

I don't think a woman would look at your chipped tooth and go, eewww, I'm running away, that's silly.  Focus on other things and have some self confidence and you'll be a happier person

Answer 12

It isn't a filling, but I can't remember what they do call it.  I have one, too.  Result of a minor car accident when I was young.  Really uncomfortable, and mars the smile.  I totally understand, but it IS remediable.  You just need to find the right dentist, and it shouldn't cost a fortune, either.  They put a little bit of porcelain, or something on the tooth, then attach it with a laser.  It matches really closely, and no one but you will really notice it.

Talk to one of those "find a dentist" phone numbers...they should be able to help.

Insurance WOULD help, but you should be able to pay for it.

Congratulations on getting your life back on an even keel.  If this is the last step, go for it.  You want to finish and make your life what you want it to be.
