Why is the Gap in my teeth becoming wider?
Q.
Hi Dr Verma,
I am very depressed with my front upper teeth. I am 37 year old, and have over the year realised that my front upper teeth have started to widen apart, and the right front upper is started to move outer leave so much gap (similar to Picture 1 from your album below). the same gap have started on the lower front. My question is how to bring them together, and how much its likely to cost me for both upper and lower. I have been to my local dentist and when asked about this all they seem to say is its all age related, my gums have started to shift up which allows the teeth to move. I do get a lot of pain in the mornings as i come to realise that my tongue has probably pushed onto them, and also if i try to bite an apple i get pain straight away, please can you advise. Many thanks

Dear Enquirer,
Your symptoms indicate you may have gum disease. This will need to be treated in order to stabilise your teeth, before any corrective treatment is carried out.
Please ask your dentist to investigate this thoroughly as you may need to see a periodontist ( gum specialist)
