What to do if there is a gap between teeth

The reason for gaps between teeth is our bad tooth cleaning habits. When food gets stuck in our teeth, we often like to use toothpicks to remove the food, but doing so will make the gaps between teeth become larger and larger. Some people have the habit of using toothpicks to pick their teeth after every meal. This will only make the gaps between teeth bigger and make it easier for food to get stuck between teeth. So after eating, if you feel something stuck in your teeth, try not to use a toothpick. Brushing your teeth may eliminate the uncomfortable feeling.

Many people do not visit the dentist regularly, and they do not even realize that they have dental problems for a year or two. People often wait until they feel uncomfortable in their mouth before they remember to go to the dentist to see a dentist. So for different situations of gaps between teeth, here we provide some methods and tell you about the dangers of gaps between teeth.

1. If the gums have not obviously receded, those with cavities can have their teeth filled, and those with sparse teeth can choose braces.

2. If the teeth are severely worn, you can restore their appearance by making porcelain teeth.

3. If the gums are atrophied, you can remove tartar and dental plaque by teeth cleaning, and then receive corresponding treatment if necessary.

4. In addition to necessary treatment measures, regular oral hygiene is very important. Brush your teeth every morning and evening to ensure oral cleanliness and health.

5. Also pay attention to food and eat less hard and sticky food.

Dangers of large gaps between teeth:

The existence of gaps between teeth not only makes it easy for food to be retained, but also causes a feeling of squeezing and persistent swelling and pain in the affected teeth, and may even cause gingivitis, gum abscesses, and tooth root caries.

Many people believe that large gaps between teeth and food stuck in teeth are caused by tooth decay, and that the problem can be solved by simply filling the teeth. In fact, this view is one-sided. The formation of gaps between teeth is mainly due to gum atrophy and sparse teeth, and only in very rare cases is it caused by caries.

The above has made relevant introductions for everyone, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone. At the same time, everyone should pay attention to oral hygiene and health in daily life. No matter under any circumstances, it is best to use less or no toothpicks and use dental floss, which is both hygienic and safe. If you have related similar problems, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
