Nothing but the tooth

[j4]

I've realised that a lot of the reason I'm unhappy with the way my face looks is that half-length tooth that I have. People have told me in the past that it's cute, and I used to think that it gave my face "character", but the more I see it in photos the more I think it just looks stupid. So, should I get it fixed? (Getting it fixed would probably be expensive and might be painful.)

Well, in matters of self esteem cause and effect can be a bit muddled so treating the symptoms may also be treating the root cause in a way. If you are happier with yourself as a result of the tooth thing then self esteem gets better. and so on.

And if the tooth is fully healthy, just little then I have no idea whether it would be painful or not. From my understanding if it is still healthy then it will probably still have a nerve and so on which will mean whatever is done will probably be done under anaesthetic. On the other hand I have had teeth that have been fully helathy and remove (a set of four in fact) and that wasn't too bad. Anaesthetised and gappy afterwards. No actual pain so I see no reason that this shoudl be painful. I guess we need a dentist to tell us for sure though. :)
