Are you missing any teeth?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm missing two front teeth from my lower jaw. They never existed. Luckily my other teeth have moved in time so that I only have a very small gap. It doesn't show when I smile or speak. I'm also missing some enamel, which makes my teeth more vulnerable to caries. My mom and her sister also are missing some teeth, so it's most likely genetic.

Are you missing any teeth?

Only four I had removed, and a chip I took out of one trying to open a container. That's interesting that you and your family members are missing teeth probably for genetic reasons.

i had two upper premolars removed to allow my teeth to fit in my mouth straight. i also had a tooth die years after the president of the american boxing assoc. (when he was five) hit me in the mouth with a wagon handle. i now have an implant there.

I'm missing half of my top two front teeth. They broke off when I fell head first into a dry creek bed (filled with big rocks). It was about a 10 foot fall. I had a huge head injury from it too. I'm lucky to be alive. I have two fillings that make it look normal. They've chipped over time, though. I'd like to get them redone, but it gives me the creeps.

I had an unerupted impacted wisdom tooth removed from my lower jaw and eventually I had to have one also on my lower jaw removed as the root canal treatment failed after 20 years as the tooth had died. It caused a horrid abscess which I had to suffer over one easter holiday.
I have lots of metal work because acid reflux from a very young age has ruined my enamel.

I am missing seven teeth. This all happened when I was 15/16 years old. My wisdom teeth had to be removed because I guess they were not growing in right (That's what the dentist said), I had a vampire-like canine tooth taken out because it was making the surrounding teeth twist up. My front teeth began to almost overlap (at the time they were fractured and loose, then got severely infected and they had to pulled out, and I almost went septic from it due to the fact the dentist did not give me antibiotics). I hit ice walking to school many years ago, so that's how the front ones came to be fractured. I look like a hockey play (I Love Hockey).
Note: Due to bad coordination, curved spine, and bad balance I fall down a lot.

I got a "7" and a "6" removed. I will probably also have to pull out one more "6" soon because it can't be fixed anymore, I am just waiting till it starts hurt badly, so far it only hurts occasionally in I way I can stand so I delay.
I also don't have a half of one of my "1"s, but it is fixed. I lost it in a accident when I was child. You can see where the filling is if you look closely but the tooth works fine. Although it is sensitive to touch. I always tell my dentist not to touch it unexpectedly when she works with my other tooths because even a light touch on this tooth scares me and I instinctively jump which is dangerous when you got dentist instruments in your mouth .

Well yes, but I think I miss my upper left wisdom tooth the most. We were kind of close.

No

nope, rather the opposite. i need my wisdom teeth removed but I've still got them.
oh well, they're not hurting yet.

I'm missing 8 teeth. I have 20. And 2 fake teeth. My mouth was too small for even 28 teeth.

I never developed wisdom teeth (that's why I am the way I am today!)

Just two wisdom teeth.I have good teeth,cracked pecans with them when I was a kid.Not going to do that now.

I've had four teeth removed, but that's just because I needed braces and my moth was a little crowded. I think all four were molars.

It's not noticeable at all, and my teeth are relatively healthy. I've gotten into a really bad habit of not brushing them very often, I only brush them after a shower now because I'm too exhausted to remember to do it in the morning
