Had a front bottom tooth extracted, now there's a gap. ?!


Question: Had a front bottom tooth extracted, now there's a gap!. !?
the tooth was extracted because my wisdom teeth came in and pushed my bottom front tooth out!. it was extracted, and left a 1/16" gap!. my bottom teeth are so tight, i can barely floss!. my question is, will my bottom teeth (being so tight) continue to travel now that the tooth is gone, filling that little gap!? or should i cap the bottom teeth!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
From your description of the other teeth being so tight you find it hard to floss, I would speculate that they will "loosen up" the contacts by moving a little bit due to the availability of some space!. This doesn't happen overnight, so wait a few months to see what happens!. If they don't move to your satisfaction, it would probably be better to ask about minor orthodontics than placing caps!. Any time you can avoid introducing something artificial into your mouth, you will be better off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had all four wisdom and four others extracted and had braces put on!. No spaces now at all!. It will be fine, hang in there, have patience and you will see a difference in no time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well you can get braces to put it back to normalWww@Answer-Health@Com
