Why between my two front tooth have a gap & is getting wider?
1. How much does it cost to go to a dentist to mend it?(teenager)
2.Why is it getting wider?
Answers:
Gaps are common in people who have 1.> prominent interdental papilla (the gum tissue between the two front teeth), 2.> when permanent teeth are still coming out and not all of them are in yet, 3.> when teenagers are still growing bec the jaws are growing along with the whole body.
It may or may not go away after reaching the peak of puberty (meaning the growth spurt). If it doesn't go away after all permanent teeth are in, then that is the best time to seek a dentist's advice whether you may need braces to close the gap, or just use bonded restorations, where composite fillings or resins are used to fill the gap and make your two front teeth a little wider than they are but with the right contour and proportion to make them look real. Or you might be referred to an oral surgeon if the prominent papilla has to be surgically removed.
So, it all depends on the factors just mentioned. It will take a professional to discern which way to go, so best advice for you is to seek professional care. The cost to repair will depend on the cause of the gap. The only reason why it gets bigger is because you are still progressively growing.
