So I'm interested in becoming a Dentist, and I'll be honest. I'm 17 now and didn't take the best care of my teeth when I was a kid (probably like a lot of kids).
My teeth are fairly straight (never had braces) and fairly white. I'd say they're pretty average teeth. However, I do have one upper right canine that never fully came down, I forget the technical term, but it is higher up on my gum than the rest of my teeth.
Would this affect me being able to be a Dentist? Are dentists expected to have PERFECT teeth? Or could I possibly even have some of it improved in dental school?
