Given the circumstances I can't see it would be significant to me. Although appearance does have some value and it helps to know it's a work in progress.

So what are your akternatives ? Giving up, or being open and honest and hoping he is a good natured fellow ?

I'd ask what your ages are, but think it may be considered rude of me, so I won't.

Then old enough to hold a mature attitude.

If you're self conscious about your appearance then postpone the date

Go - and make a joke of it.

Tell him how it happened, make a joke of it then forget it, if it bothers him that much he isn't a nice person and you will have lost nothing.

It wouldn't bother me, but that's probably because from time to time I have been in the same position, I have a denture upper plate with one front tooth (had it for nearly 70 years now) and from time to time it breaks off and while awaiting repairs I am gap-toothed. OK it sometimes got funny looks, but didn't really bother me. One advantage of Covid was I could mask it - since Covid is rampant again, why not adopt the mask solution.

If you have lost a tooth accidentally and you are getting it fixed, he should understand, I would.

If you lost a visible tooth years ago and didn't get it fixed, that indicates lack of self-respect and that would be a turnoff for me, but an accident is just that.

If he can't see past a temporary change in your appearance, he's too shallow to bother seeing him again.

Good luck.

P.S. Re my post above, I was very self-conscious about it during adolescence but then I grew out of it. As other posters have said, any revulsion on his part says more about him.

Incidentally (pun intended), self-awareness is not stupid, stop beating yourself up.

Good luck.
