Causes of large gaps between children's teeth

Everyone wants to have beautiful and neat teeth, which is one of the first impressions left on others. Some people do not take good care of their teeth when they were young, which leads to large gaps between their teeth. Parents do not know why the gaps between their children's teeth have become larger. Now let me tell you what causes children’s teeth to have large gaps between them. I hope parents will pay attention to this.

1. Caries (tooth decay): There is caries on the adjacent surfaces of the teeth, causing the gaps between the teeth to widen.

2. Wisdom teeth: There is a certain gap between the wisdom teeth with tilted growth direction and the front molars, which leads to a large gap between the teeth.

3. Food impaction: When food is impacted on teeth for a long time, the food is embedded in the gaps between teeth and compresses the gingival tissue, which can cause inflammatory recession of the gingival papillae and enlarge the gaps between teeth.

4. Tooth displacement: The displaced teeth are buried between the roots of the incisors, causing the gap between the incisors to be too wide.

5. Supernumerary teeth: The lips and palate between the maxillary incisors are the most common sites for supernumerary teeth. The deformed teeth that grow out seriously affect the growth and arrangement of normal permanent teeth, causing the gap between the upper incisors to widen.

6. Gum atrophy: Mechanical stimulation, incorrect brushing methods, gum inflammation and periodontal disease can easily cause the gingival papilla to become inflamed and bleed. Continuous gingivitis can cause gum atrophy, reduce the height of the gingival papilla, and make the gaps between teeth larger.

7. When the permanent teeth are replaced, the growth of the permanent teeth deviates, causing them to grow unevenly, resulting in sparse teeth and large gaps.

8. The gums may not be well developed. The gums are the basis of support for the teeth. Malnutrition will also lead to poor tooth development.

9. It is supernumerary teeth. Some children often grow one or two deformed teeth on the labial, middle or palatal side of their upper incisors, which seriously affects the growth and arrangement of normal permanent teeth and causes the gap between the upper incisors to widen.

I believe that after reading the above 9 reasons that cause large gaps between teeth, everyone knows that it is necessary to take care of your teeth from an early age, otherwise you will regret it when you grow up. Have beautiful teeth and show a confident and charming smile. If the teeth have been damaged, we can go to the hospital for tooth restoration.
