      Anyone who values you less because of your appearance is not worth your consideration.

      This does discount physical and medical consequences, which are absolutely worth noting, but whether others notice your missing tooth should not be an issue.

      It makes sense and is understandable that you would feel sensitive about it, including wanting the tooth back, but its absence does not reflect upon you as a person and ideally you don’t feel bad about it.

      This isn’t meant to dismiss trauma, but help with any insecurity. Personally, I’d rather hear what you have to say rather than whether you can chew adequately.

      Hopefully you get your tooth back if its absence is causing you stress.

      edit: I don’t mean to invalidate any of your feelings on the subject. I don’t have any visibly missing teeth, but my mother very prominently did. If anything I said above isn’t accurate, I certainly yield to you, but I hope that something above helps.

    Isn’t the skin inside your butthole the same type skin that’s in your mouth?

    The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar.

    Is only testing on men still a thing in science? Since stuff can have different effects between genders, this could be bad for women.
