      I only have one implant but god, it’s super fucking annoying. And basically all my molars are filled. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss frequently, and mouth wash before bed but got unlucky genetics

      • same here. everyone in my family before me was missing teeth by like 30. I have floss and I brush multiple times per day, only drink sugar free things like water and tea.

      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.

    Let’s go! Bar fights won’t be as devastating!

    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.

      It’s not precluding a subsequent trial that includes women.

      Having said that, it is a little odd that it’s a men only trial.

        Yeah of course. But as you’re saying, it’s just a little odd. History shows that focusing on one gender does eventually have bad consequences for the other gender.

      I can understand it from a very basic level of ‘simple first’ but if you’re doing human trial s you should be on a complex level already
