Q. Hi, I’m having a cosmetic issue- I still have one of my canine baby teeth which remains fairly strong and hasnt fallen off. It’s presence had prevented the earlier tooth (2nd from the front)from properly aligning into position, hence it remains slightly projected outward at an angle. My dentist says the xray of my gums show that the permanent canine tooth that was supposed to come down is firmly embedded in the gums above and is never going to pose a problem for me. However I’m very unhappy and self conscious of my smile and would like to know what I can do to have that dream smile..
