What is the reason why the gap between teeth is getting bigger and bigger?

1. Dental caries: The gap between teeth is getting bigger and bigger, which may be caused by periodontal disease or dental caries, which is what we usually call worm teeth.

2. Gingival atrophy: The large gap between teeth is generally caused by gingival atrophy, which is irreversible, and the focus is on prevention. Periodontitis, dental calculus, gingivitis, gingival abscess, food impaction, etc. Are the reasons that stimulate gingival atrophy.

3. The hard tissue structure of the dental neck is weak and easy to wear.

4. Role of acid: Acid secretion in gingival sulcus, low PH value of saliva, acid food, acid regurgitation of stomach disease and work in contact with acid may cause decalcification and dissolution of tooth hard tissue.

5. Toothbrush bristles are too hard, which is often caused by brushing your teeth horizontally. Over time, a small gap will be formed in the neck of the tooth.

How to solve the big gap between teeth?

Orthodontics: By means of orthodontics, teeth can be moved and the gap between teeth can be narrowed. Orthodontics takes about 65,438+0 years and a half to two years. Orthodontic treatment can solve the problem of large teeth gap without damaging teeth.

Tooth veneering: Toothpaste is also a good way for big teeth. Compared with porcelain teeth, tooth veneers only need to grind off one layer of tooth surface, which has less damage to teeth and shorter restoration time.

Resin restoration: For 1-2 mm incisors, it can be directly restored with resin aesthetics, but the probability of falling off is relatively high, so it needs regular maintenance.

How to prevent it in peacetime?

1. Develop good oral hygiene habits, rinse your mouth or brush your teeth after meals, and rinse your mouth with water or tea instead to keep your mouth clean and hygienic.

2. Regular tooth washing: tooth washing is an effective measure to prevent gum inflammation and periodontal disease. You can do tooth washing treatment once every six months or once a year to reduce the accumulation of dental calculus.

3. Master the correct method of brushing teeth: Choose a soft-haired toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, which can floss the hard-to-reach position of the toothbrush and maintain good oral hygiene.

4. Proper use of interdental brush: When the teeth are improperly arranged or there are periodontal diseases and degenerative diseases leading to gingival atrophy and root exposure, obvious tooth gaps will be formed between the teeth, which is easy to embed into food. In this case, an interdental brush can be used.
