What Could Be The Gap Between Molar Tooth And Gum?
Hi!I had a temporary filling done 6 months ago, and last week a piece from my molar tooth just broke, so I went to the dentist who just removed the old temp filling and did a new one(the dentist said that he used a new filling method that is done with gel). The problem is that after the filling I noticed a gap between my molar tooth and gum. Isn't that a sign of periodontitis and shouldn't my dentist have diagnosed that? How should it be treated?
Read your query , as you have gap between molar tooth and gum this can be due to periodontal problem may be due to recession or due to bone loss there is gap between teeth is there , there is nothing to be worried I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon (Periodontist ) and go for examination of gums and tooth if needed, go for IOPA xray of tooth to evaluate the bone loss in between tooth and go for its treatment. In meantime maintain proper oral hygiene , do warm saline rinses, brush your teeth twice daily.
Hope it will help you. Wishing you good health.
Regards , Dr. Priyanka tiwari
