A tooth replacement should be the major matter of concern for you right now.
the truth in VI position is your first molar which plays the maximum role in chewing and speaking. Replacing of the first molar is mandatory for your overall health feeling of which can invite complications like tilting of the adjacent tooth loosening of the first molar due to excessive load on the opposite side and also the Supra eruption of the tooth on the opposite arch.
Not replacing the first molar in such a young age is not a valid option
Next Steps
visit a nearby dentist and get your tooth replaced as soon as possible

Hello,
As per your concern u are most conscious about your beauty and appearance. U are in a thought that it's a back tooth no one will notice about it.
But think of Ur health that is going to be at danger due to loss of the most important tooth for chewing.
The consequences of this is.
1. U start chewing on one side where u have complete set of tooth which leads to single side tooth wear and at later time causing sensitivity due to severe attrition
2. When u leave the missing tooth the tooth adjacent to it and the opposing tooth drift to the missing space causing u distrubence in occlusion which leads to in untreatable TMD disorder at later date.
3. Coming to your age factor u have much more to do with these available tooth surrounding the missing area. But eventually they to will get loose and fall off due to drifting.
Not only these there are many other things
So never neglect a missing tooth u have to repent for the delay u make for replacement of it
Next Steps
go to a dentist nearby and get replaced

Hello
6th number Tooth is the most important tooth for mastication
If you don’t replace it the bone will thin out fast and the opposite tooth and the neighbouring tooth will start shifting in the empty space
Your mastication won’t be balanced both sides
Please replace it

Hi. You have to replace the missing tooth. There is a phenomenon called Supra eruption which happens. In that the opposing tooth and the adjacent tooth start moving towards the empty space and eventually even they will become lose and fall off. Plus u will have difficulty in chewing later. It won't happen overnight, but slowly that's what will happen. Better to get it replaced...
