He was deathly afraid of the dentist. His previous dentist would short him novacane, so he'd feel the pain as a kid. He never went back to have a temporary fixed.

We met, I found a sweetheart dentist and he had it pulled, but his wisdom tooth was erupted so the gap closed quickly, and there is only a small gap, and he never had an any issue with it all this time.
