Would you date someone who's missing some teeth?

[beebella]

Yeah, that's no problem

It depends on how many/which teeth are missing

No, that's too much of a turn-off for me

Something else

[lovelyleo]

I would if they Are missing in the back and no one could really tell. I may not be able to tell if they are missing. In the front it kind of tells a lot about them. If I had teeth missing in the front I would get some dentures a partial, or an implant or something. They can be expensive so if it's missing in the front, that either means they can't afford it so they probably can't afford to date. Or they care very little about their appearance so it's probable they are not my type.. It's just a little bit more to think about than the missing teeth. Like After you lost your tooth did you start taking care of your teeth or did you continue to lose teeth. How many teeth did you lose before you started taking care your teeth? Nobody's perfect and things happen so so if you go to the dentist then you're probably OK. It's not that I wouldn't date them, but if I do I would hope they are trying to get their teeth fixed and trying to take better care of them so they won't lose anymore.

[loves2learn]

I did and I would. Mrloves2learn is missing his two front bottom teeth and all of his molars. It is a genetic condition. His sister and 2 of their cousins have it too.

I have mentioned this before but the first day I met him things got pretty heated. LOL. Well 2 days later he took me on a proper date. It was at that time that I noticed he was missing teeth and I kept thinking to myself "how did I not notice the guy I was making out with was missing TEETH?"

Well, the answer was, he had a retainer with teeth which he only removed for eating.

[Mangospacho]

I was gonna say he probably had a retainer or a bridge with teeth. I still like that you made out with him and didn’t notice. 🤣

[loves2learn]

@Mangospacho he has a bridge now. Retainer then. 😂😂😂

I was so confused how I could have missed the no teeth thing. I finally worked up the courage to ask about them and he said he lost them in a bar fight just to see my reaction.

[Mangospacho]

A bar fight? That’s awesome. Wasn’t he like 19 at the time and already getting into bar fights? 😃

[loves2learn]

@Mangospacho you are correct! Which is why the story did not check out 😆

[NaultD]

I got my front right tooth (#8 for any dentist) punched out my last year of high school. Got a plan to get an implant but that took a year to take care of and $8000 of bills while working $10.00 an hour. Still the best investment I've ever made just not a fun one.

I can say i have deep empathy and understanding missing teeth to say the very least.

[ManOnFire]

She didn't have any missing teeth, but I did date a girl with imperfect teeth. They were kind of cannibal-ish, but it did not make me lose interest in her at all.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I'm into that.
Or if they are pointy.

Please bite me right away.

[ManOnFire]

@Lost_in_the_Woods LOL. Wow, dude.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

I apologise if that was more than you needed to know.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

But I'm not sorry.

[katiesmuff]

Almost every adult is missing a tooth somewhere which means in many cases you would never know it is missing.
Now if it was a person who had a tooth or teeth missing which are visible with a smile, then we got issues. If they are missing due to an accident then it is likely the teeth will be replaced and all will be good.
If they are missing due to poor hygiene then there is not much hope that hygiene care for any other part of him is any better which for me would be a total turn off and no chance for a date.
If they are missing because of a fight it also brings to question what kind of person he is and would likely pass on him as well.

[Irnwhdbsj]

Well I'm pretty sure if they are under the age of 18 - 30 (since as an aspiring PhD I know some people are forced to depend on deadbeat parents til 25ish) I'd simply understand that it's not their fault and their parents were probabaly scum and that they will probably fix it when they have the money to do so so yes I totally would if they had an attractive personality. I mean, what kind of question is this? Sounds pretty inconsiderate to me and I'm more concerned about the person on the other end.

[DizzyDesii]

They can't be missing the tooth when we initially start dating 🤣 Now if they get in a fight tryna protect me, of course i’ll stick around. But nah there was one hot guy who I found out was wearing dentures. He removed em one time and hardly had teeth. He told me he was an ex meth/crack addict. Boyyy i couldnt reject him fast enough 💀

[420Rachel]

It depends on the reason. If it's something beyond his control such as poor genetics or a medical condition no I would not care if he was missing teeth. If it's due to poor hygiene/him simply not taking care of his teeth then that would definitely be a turn off for me.

[SLRK3]

I would say yes I would because one I am missing teeth but two appearance isn't everything. It's the person within that matters and that is going by a lot because society is just one big giant pile of ignorant assholes who cares only about looks so no teeth doesn't mean anything to me! 🤯🤯🤯

[MAAJD]

you are a genuine one. wish more people are like you.

Many girls just changed 180 degrees the moment they saw my smile with my broken front tooth. very few didn't care, and even fewer actually found it cute cause apparently it reminded them of little kids when they all smile cutely with broken teeth xD

[anniisa97]

Nope. Teeth can really drag an above average looking person down to average.

I did date someone with a gap, but the tooth wasn't missing, it still looked like it was though so I guess in some cases maybe, but I honestly don't plan on dating anyone else like that. He was a one off, and at the time it was other qualities I thought he had that mattered more

[JustinTimberlegs]

It's just teeth, we all lose them someday. As long as they're not rotten, a few missing teeth is fine. Sometimes accidents happen, maybe they had an unfortunate fall face first. There's lots of options nowadays, but even if they didn't want to pursue those options it's fine with me. There's better things to worry about.

[abc3643]

I had one interesting beautiful girlfriend 30 years ago.
She had a very distinctive smile because she had only 3 - not 4 - top incisors between her eye teeth. She didn't have a gap or anything. This was purely genetics. I am not sure, but I believe her mother only had two top incisions between her eye teeth.
Anyway, this didn't bother me (although I did wonder if my own kids with her might have this issue) and she was beautiful and I most definitely wanted to marry her...

[exitseven]

I would not have a problem with it. Teeth can be fixed.
However, my father used to say that when you date somebody you should check out her teeth. If she has bad teeth she probably does not take very good care of herself. If she does not take care of herself, she won't take good care of you either.

[HerFollower]

OH gee,,, I don't know. Would it affect her health? Would it prohibit her being able to receive adequate nutrition?

No,,, it wouldn't? Well then hell no I wouldn't reject her because she's missing 1 or some teeth.

Most people are born with 4 fingers and a thumb on each hand. Would you reject a person who only had 3 fingers and a thumb?

[Anonymous]

Ok so my sister had an accident and caused her to lose form teeth she had to stay for a while without from teeth to get it fixed. I think if it’s due to suddenly unfortunate accident it’s ok to miss teeth but if you leave them for long just like that because you don’t cate than that’s wrong !
I think teeth are 80% part of your beauty lol

[molonski2]

Well as shown in the picture and amusing the means to correct is obviously not a problem , so it depends where , how many , and attitude towards , means and will to correct.. then okey , thats not a problem.

[Exxon]

Yes, i don't care teeth that much i think, but i'm not 100% sure, the booty and legs are the most attractive parts of a female's body..
a well shaped booty and a pair of thic shaved sexy legs could save everything :)

[A_Nihilist]

I get that it's not their fault if they have bad dental health. But they can certainly get false teeth, be them densures or screwed in teeth.

Attraction is part of the person you choose to date. And I don't think I could date someone with a mouth like a chessboard.

[John_Doesnt]

Bad teeth don't bother me on a cute woman;

[ThisAndThat]

The girl in the picture? Her teeth actually makes her very attractive the way they are and if I were dating her I would be very disappointed if she tried to correct them or change them.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

Yeah, that's hawt.

I don't know why, but it is.

[Adam1978]

That is a sign of being poor or really scared of the dentist. Most people fix broken teeth. It's also a sign that they will have a bad breath. So it's wise to stay clear.

[andreasderjuengere]

Of course, I would. I'not complete there myself 😙.
I think that this obsession with "good teeth" is once again a local cultural derailment. In my own part of the world it's not a big deal

[Titanya]

Automatically I'm like no way because when I think of missing teeth poor oral hygiene comes to mind but tooth loss could be caused by other illnesses or accidents so there are exceptions.

[slatyb]

It's quite foolish to leave gaps between teeth unrepaired. The adjacent teeth will shift into the gap. These gaps are routinely filled with a dental bridge to protect the surrounding teeth.

[dustybiker]

I have dated active sportsmen who regularly loosen teeth, etc. sometimes it’s part of the way of life. :) Why man created dentists.
