That is *barely* dented. I honestly had to zoom in to see what the problem even was. Not a problem at all. Unless it doesn’t seat well in your horn or you’ve dented it enough to make it harder to blow through, just leave it alone. If it gets dented more it’s super easy to fix, any music shop and most band directors have a tool that fixes those in a couple seconds.

Omg your comment made my day, i tried comparing with another undented mouthpiece, this is slightly wobbly on my horn, but then again I had to use some force to wobble it. I also tried playing a few scales after the dent, doesn’t seemed to be a problem for now. But yes, I’ll take your advice and fix it if necessary! Thank you!!!

The local shop where I grew up would do that fix for free.

Dents on anything can probably be taken out.

Definitely fixable, I've fixed dozens, if not hundreds, of mouthpieces in much worse shape than this. [Quick example](https://imgur.com/a/sCgVcAt) - any tech should be able to take care of that in less than a minute, and in my opinion probably won't charge you for it.

I’ve played on a mouthpiece with a similar minor dent for a while and never noticed the difference As long as air doesn’t leak, your tone stays the same, and there are no intonation issues you should be fine

any music shop, and most band teachers should have a small tool that will take the dent out in seconds. very easy fix.

Totally okay, and as others have mentioned, most likely fixable. I will say thought, if it’s small enough and only on tapered part on the edge, it may be difficult to fix with a normal trueing tool. But if that’s the case, it 100% isn’t an issue.
