Can the gaps between teeth be filled?

As we all know, there are gaps between people's teeth, but generally speaking, the gaps between normal people's teeth are very small and almost negligible. However, some people have very large gaps between their teeth, which not only looks very unsightly, but also makes it very easy for food to get stuck in the gaps between the teeth when eating, causing discomfort to the teeth, and in severe cases, even disease. So, can the gaps between teeth be filled?

The answer is definitely no. Not giving you the reimbursement is responsible for you. If it were an irresponsible doctor, he might have given you the reimbursement. Each tooth is an individual, and there are gingival papillae between teeth. If the normal gap is forcibly filled with materials, the end result will be gum recession, leading to severe food impaction. When the gums recede, the gaps between the teeth will become larger and more unsightly. The correct method is either correction or porcelain crown. If you don't choose either, then consider letting nature take its course.

If the gaps between teeth are too large, it is not as scientific and advisable as many friends imagine. Just filling the gaps between teeth with materials is not scientific and advisable. If you have large gaps between your teeth and often get food stuck in your teeth, you must go to the hospital for an oral examination to find out the cause and receive symptomatic treatment to truly solve the problem of food stuck in your teeth.

For children with large gaps between teeth, no treatment is needed for the time being, because the children are still in the growth stage. Children with large gaps between teeth may automatically close after the day after tomorrow's tooth replacement. If the problem persists after tooth replacement, orthodontic treatment or all-ceramic teeth can be used for treatment.

Why are the gaps between teeth getting bigger?

1. The increasing gaps between teeth may be caused by periodontal disease or caries.

2. Large gaps between teeth are usually caused by gum recession. Gum recession is irreversible, so the focus should be on prevention. Periodontitis, dental tartar, gingivitis, gum abscesses, food impaction, etc. are all causes that stimulate gum recession.

In addition, some tooth defects are in the shape of a "V", which is also called wedge-shaped wear because its appearance resembles a carpenter's wedge.

3. The hard tissue structure at the neck of the teeth is relatively weak and easily worn.

4. The effect of acid. Acidic secretions in the gingival sulcus, low saliva pH, acidic foods, acid reflux from stomach problems, and work that comes into contact with acid can all cause decalcification and dissolution of the hard tissues of the teeth.

5. The bristles of the toothbrush are too hard, and you often brush your teeth horizontally with force, which will form small gaps on the neck of the teeth over time.

Therefore, large gaps between teeth cannot be completely repaired by filling them. You need to go to the dental department in time to get braces to repair them. Don't be bothered by the hassle. People with large gaps between teeth need to maintain better oral hygiene. Otherwise, dental tartar will easily form over time and induce periodontal disease.
