As a kid my baby tooth fell out and I had no adult tooth underneath it.  It is my 3rd to the last tooth on the bottom right.  My bite or smile isn't affected at all...yet at least.  I noticed the teeth to the left and right have receding gumline.  This is the only area where it's present.  After insurance my bridge is $700.  What should I do?  If someone has 1 missing tooth and they have healthy gums liek I do, but they are missing 1 tooth what usually can happen if they just leave it alone the rest of their life?
