Gap between teeth.?!


Question:

Gap between teeth.?

Alright, I went to the dentist about a week ago and she got rid of all the tar between my teeth and there was a lot since I hadn't gone in abut 2 years. She told me to floss and since then I have been doing so for a week. Now, I notice a small gap between the front of my teeth! How did this happen?

When they were using a tooth scraper I believe, and they were sticking it between my bottom row and top row of teeth fairly roughly and pulling up, sorta seems like they were wedging it between. and scraping between teeth. I spit out some blood (and tiny pieces of gum) I just noticed I have small gaps now on bottom row and first two! I'm 14 years old.

It's very tiny.


Answers:

Teeth are highly mobile. They could've moved apart by themselves, or they could've grown in like that.
Go see an orthodontist. You may be fitted with an orthodontic device that will close the gap. However, this may be considered cosmetic if it won't interfere with the way you chew or speak much, so your parents may have to pay a lot of money for it.
