I have only one upper canine tooth. What should i do to fix it?

Question

All my teeth are good besides one tooth which makes my self esteem so low that i don't even smile or laugh infront of people, if laugh infront of someone, i always put my arm around my mouth to hide it. I don't even smile infront of girls or even talk to them because of this. whats the best possible way to fix this.

You should go see a dentist and have him/her give you the options available to fix that one tooth. Then you can decide which way you want to go. Without a photo and xrays, it is impossible to give you any kind of answer. I t could be anywhere from extracting the tooth and doing an implant  to a crown or root canal and crown to doing a composite filling. The dentist will help you work thru what you want and the best way to get there.Good luck
