OMGGGGG please please please help me!

i had a bad accident today and one of my bottom teeth broke! i went to the dentist and all and he said we have to wait until wednesday for the gums to heal before we replace it!! please help me! i need a way to hide until then my family are being so mean and nonsupporting... i need a way to disguise it until then because i don't my friends to see me like this!

ANYTHING! please anything that i could find at home and use to disguise the missing tooth its on the side near the front two teeth at the bottom!

Well, you could keep some white gum in your mouth and sort of smoosh it over the tooth... but really, anything you put on there is gonna be noticable. And people will be like, why do you have that on your tooth? And then you'll have to explain it, and then they'll want to see it.

I think you should just relax and don't let it bother you. It's really not as big a deal as you think. It's just a tooth, and it's only a couple days. I've seen people come to school with a lot worse... black eyes, broken noses, stitches, etc. Nobody will think badly of you or make fun of you. It was an accident, so they'll feel sorry for you! Well, okay, I could see maybe some doofy guys teasing you, but just in a flirty sort of way. And it might be kind of fun to get a little attention! So don't let it bother you. It's really going to be okay!
