Isn't that why we brush our teeth, though? Like... What am I doing wrong? At this point I wish I could convince a dentist to pull all of my teeth, including the healthy ones, and give me dentures. I'm 34, and I don't smile, I don't eat out with friends, I don't do anything that may show my teeth, because I'm missing a front tooth and I look like some cartoon hillbilly. I hate it so much.
