Interdental widening

Introduction Widening of the teeth: the gums are filled with gingival nipples. Due to the perennial tooth wear, the teeth erupt in the direction of the crown, and the neck and root of the teeth are separated, so it seems that the teeth are sewn. In a person's life, the number of gingival papilla necrosis is many, and the height of the gingival nipple will gradually decrease, which makes the teeth gradually widen, which is a sign of human aging. If the gums are not properly cleaned and the gums are often inflamed, it will accelerate the gingival nipple loss, causing periodontitis and widening of the teeth.

Inspection of the widening of the teeth

After the teeth are widened, not only can the food be invaded, but also the tooth decay and periodontal disease can occur. If it is a widening of the teeth caused by periodontal disease, it is important to pay attention to the cleaning and treatment of the teeth. If the congenital teeth are widened and the gap is not very large, you can choose to make a porcelain crown and make the teeth bigger to make up for it; or wear a braces for orthodontics, which can be effective in about half a year.
