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.)

I don't really think it actually detracts that much. However ... last year I had my toe and my finger sorted out, and although they're not such visible things as a tooth, I'm very glad I did. So if my experience is anything to go by, you should do it.

And furthermore...

...even if there is an element of "it's a self-esteem thing" can't the tooth be a real issue in and of itself too?
