I'm in just the opposite boat... On the top I had like 3 teeth that never 
came in, so I have a couple of huge gaps around my upper teeth.  Good thing 
is the doc said when I was a kid that I'd probably never need my top wisdom 
teeth pulled since they had plenty of room to grow, but bad news is I look 
like I'm missing teeth which gives kindofa bubba look.  I'm heading to the 
doc sometime within the next few months (at fiancee's request) to get this 
looked at, and I'm sure they can do something to make things look abit 
better.


A friend of mine did have surgery yesterday on her teeth to have her gums 
pulled down to cover places where the roots of her teeth were showing.  Doc 
said it was cuased by overbrushing, and in looking at my teeth I'm getting 
the same thing.  

I hate dentists...
