I believe that everyone has seen in life that many people have large gaps between their teeth, especially children’s teeth are more prone to large gaps. What should I do if my teeth are too large?
1. Dental floss instead of toothpicks often see some people use toothpicks to dig the teeth gaps after eating, which is easy to loosen the teeth gaps and make the gaps bigger and bigger, especially the toothpicks in some restaurants are hard and easy to fork. Very easy to damage the gums. Expert advice: Use dental floss instead of toothpicks. Dental floss is flat and soft, just passing through the physiological gap of the teeth and will not damage human teeth. It is very convenient to use after being proficient in use. Put the dental floss between the teeth and move it up and down to remove the dirt. For beginners, you can use a relatively smooth dental floss with wax first.
2. When the gap between the teeth is large, the effect of using the interdental brush is good. When the teeth are not aligned properly, or there is periodontal disease, degenerative disease causes the gums to shrink and the roots of the teeth are exposed. At this time, many people who are accustomed to using toothpicks will find that although the food has been removed, the gap between the teeth is getting bigger and bigger. In fact, in this case, using an interdental brush is better than a toothpick. Before using the interdental brush, you should also listen to the guidance and advice of the dentist, so as not to damage the gums with too much force, causing the gap between the teeth to become larger and even larger, and affect the appearance and chewing function.
3. The gap between the teeth caused by gingival recession becomes larger. The gaps between the teeth are filled with gingival tissue, which is also known as papillae in medicine. The papillae are prone to inflammation and bleeding. Each inflammation and bleeding will reduce the height of the papillae. The more the number of times, the bigger the gap between the teeth. This is because the gums have receded, and the symptoms can be improved by scaling + topical medicine.
4. Orthodontic treatment If the gap between the teeth is due to physiological reasons (that is, developed), for example, most of the gap between the front teeth is caused by the too low attachment of the lip frenulum, which can be solved by correction. Orthodontics can be used to make the teeth Slowly move to a normal straight position to narrow the gap between the teeth.
5. Porcelain tooth restoration: If there is a gap in the tooth arrangement, and it is relatively large, it is recommended to do porcelain crown restoration or orthodontic treatment when the adult has passed the growth and development period; if it is because of periodontal Tissue disease causes the gums to recede, thereby forming a gap between the two teeth. It is recommended to treat periodontal disease to see if there is improvement.
