Since my past two dates have been visibly missing incisors, I decided to do a little research. While I was on my last two dates, I contemplated the thought that even IF all other factors had been favorable and I had wanted to go out with one of these guys again, I couldn’t. How could I ever take a man who was missing his teeth around my friends? What would they think? Everyone in my circle of influence has their teeth or at least, a suitable replacement. All I could imagine was the thought of them looking at me and thinking, “Geez, can’t you find a man with teeth?? WHAT are you thinking?”
I wanted to make sure I wasn’t just being shallow, so I found a discussion board on Plentyoffish on the subject of teeth. Basically, what I found is that it is NOT ok to not have your teeth.
Duh!
What does this say about someone? If a man will let himself look like this, what other things does he let slide in his life? Do you know what I mean?
Now, I know that crowns and onlays are expensive, and I think the price of healthcare in the U.S. is ridiculous. There are a lot of people who can’t afford healthcare in this country.
I always like to be helpful, so I contacted a friend of mine who goes to Tijuana for his dental care. Just across the border, you can find Dr. Billy Bartell Jr., your Tijuana dentist. For less than the price of a crown in the U.S., you can fly down to San Diego, trek across the border to see the dentist, get your teeth fixed, and have enough change in your pocket left over for a few margaritas at the restaurant next door.
Outsource your dental care if you need to, but don’t walk around without your teeth. It’s just not cool. Think about it. What does this say about you? What does this say about your dental hygiene? What does this say about what it might be like to kiss you?
Why would somebody want that?
Blah!
I would date a man who was missing a leg before I will date a man who is missing a front tooth. That’s just the way it is. Get yourself an Oral B or Sonicare, brush two to three times a day, and FLOSS!!!
If you still can’t keep your teeth in your mouth, go see your Tijuana dentist.

I’m fairly flexible on flaws but, I’m with you.
Missing a tooth waaaay down the back somewhere…MAYBE.
Missing a front tooth — oh, no way. At least, not without an explanation, like it was knocked out as part of a defense of a victim against a gang of doped-up louts and the implant process is still a work in progress.
Man #21 actually made a decision to get rid of the tooth. I think I might need another blog post to explain further.
Come on, imagine what fun it would be kissing him, and poking your tongue in this space between his teeth 😀 😀
You could practice how much of your tongue would go in, and find different ways of making it go this little bit further 😀
Ewes — Gross!! 🙂
Yes, thank you dear iPhone!
Eeew — Gross!
Let’s leave the sheep for a different blog post, shall we? 🙂
SG, that was a visual I really did not need.
Relying on another person’s tongue to floss is just not acceptable.
Actually, I’ve heard amazing things about women who can remove their teeth…
OMG! Did you really need to go there? I’m trying to think of a situation where it would be more beneficial for a man to be missing his teeth, and I just can’t think of one.
