Damn, sorry to hear about that man.

I chipped my front tooth a few years ago when I was in London with friends and we were drinking in a beer garden. The place was packed and just as I put my bottle to my lips, a woman barged right into me from behind and the force caused me to jolt forward and I just heard a weird noise, like someone flicking some glass.

Seconds later, I had bits of my teeth in my mouth and I was so pissed off and it ruined the whole night and the holiday for me that I just called it a night, left my friends and went back to the hostel.

To this day, I still regret saying 'no thanks' to having my drink in a plastic cup.

When I got home I was obsessed about my tooth and I kept looking into the mirror and looking at it from different angles and it just bummed me out big time because I was like you, in that I was self-conscious about my smile so this made things so much worse.

However, over time I naturally grew to accept my chipped tooth as I slowly began forgetting to look at it in the mirror or feel it with my tongue, and now I'm perfectly fine with it and I've accepted it for what it is.

I look in the mirror and I don't see the horrors I originally saw back then. I just see my teeth and it actually looks normal to me and nobody else can even tell that it's chipped, even though the corner is missing and there's a slight gap between my two front teeth.

My chipped tooth is now just a tooth, so I really wouldn't worry about your tooth if I was you but I totally understand that right now, that's easier said than done.

Over time you'll grow to accept it and hey, looking at the photo, it actually doesn't look that bad and you can also see that a good filing job can even things out if you wanted to go down that road.

Trust me, in about a year or two, you'll forget all about it and you may actually like that you have a story to tell about it. I know I do with mine.

Good luck with your teeth in the future, my friend! :)
