CrazyKing Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Haven't been here for a while. Several very important things have happened to me the last few months - found a girl, found a job, moved to another town. I don't feel that sad about being forced to leave the girl I was dating, I don't even have any will to get back to where I came from, because I really love the town where I am living and finally I have a job that's perfect for me. What I'm worried about the most is that a month ago I got beaten up by some lunatics for no reason - one of my front teeth had to be extracted, my nose was broken - now I'm all fine, but I hate the fact that I have to wait about 4 months until I get a dental implant. I feel fine about who I am, I've never ever felt so good in my life, but, now seriously, a missing front tooth is a huge turnoff when it comes to meeting girls, don't you think? Right now I don't have the time to actually meet somebody I could potentially start dating because I work all the time, but when I happen to be close to some girl that I find attractive during lunch - I'm unable to start talking to her because the first impression is of much importance and I don't want to start already with the phrase - "Hey there, I lost my front tooth because I got beaten up" in order for her not to turn her back already after she sees that empty spot. On the other hand I think that it's all about being myself and a girl that would turn her back just because I have a missing tooth ain't worth a penny, is she? Link to comment
guynextdoor Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Missing a tooth isn't something rare, I'm sure the topic will eventually come up but don't let it prevent you from approaching them. Link to comment
FathomFear Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 On the other hand I think that it's all about being myself and a girl that would turn her back just because I have a missing tooth ain't worth a penny, is she? I wouldn't say "ain't worth a penny". For some people this would just lead to a lack of physical attraction, which is a dealbreaker for many. I mean, think about it in reverse. What if you saw an attractive woman and then she opened her mouth and had a few missing teeth? What's your first reaction going to be? Like it or not, this is one of those things people can be and often are superficial about. Link to comment
22n32 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 i chipped my front tooth about 2 weeks ago.. riding dirt bikes and playing football.. been out with handfull of girls.. hasnt been a problem... only be a problem if u make it one.. i havent had time to fix it yet... Link to comment
abitbroken Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I think if a guy lost one due to illness or a car accident i would look past it but no one randomly gets "beat up by lunatics". Was this a bar fight or were you innocently walking down the street and were a victim of a crime? If it were the latter, i'd be understanding. If it were the first, I wouldn't want to date a guy who got himself into such things. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I know it makes you feel socially awkward. I got one of my bottom front teeth extracted this past Monday.( it was damaged in a childhood accident and reached the end of it's life span). It can make one feel embarressed for sure. This however is a temporary situation. It is being replaced. I would think she would be far more worried that you are ok after being beaten up by thugs than if you have a missing tooth or not. I feel for you in that whole situation. The same thing happened to my brother when he was 15. He was jumped by 5 guys and he needed plastic surgery to fix his nose and he had 6 of his teeth needed crowns.He had to wait to make sure his teeth settled back into his gums before they could fix them.

My brother was 15 and got off a bus on New Year's Eve and 5 guys beat him up for thrills..there are SICK people out there. Link to comment

If a guy regularly gets in bar fights - whole different story. Link to comment
eternalsunrise Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Can you not get a temporary tooth from your Dentist? - When I had a root canal on one of my eye teeth, the dentist put in a temporary tooth that same day. It took about 2 weeks for the porcelain one to arrive. The temporary one wasn't as good of quality but no one seemed to notice, and I just felt better. It was more about my own comfort. If you are fine and comfortable without having a tooth there until you get the permanent one from your dentist, then so be it. - I wouldn't worry too much about dating. If anything, it'll help weed out the superficial people. It's just a temporary situation. If you are confident and comfortable, that's really what counts. Link to comment
