\"black<\/p>\n

As we age, we can expect several unpleasant things to happen. Our faces become wrinkly, our hair turns gray, and we might become forgetful. But one other thing that happens to many of us as we get older is, we start to develop little black triangles in between our teeth. Known as dental black triangles, or open gingival embrasures, these gaps can harbor bits of food that attract bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay. What exactly causes these spaces? And how can you get rid of them? Keep reading as a cosmetic dentist<\/a> in Lakewood answers these questions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What Causes Black Triangles Between Teeth?<\/h2>\n

A black triangle appears between two teeth when the gum tissue does not completely fill the space. As we get older, this happens naturally because the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth.<\/p>\n

It may also occur as a result of gum disease, a bacterial infection in the gum tissue that causes the gums to recede and create gaps. Gum disease can be prevented and treated by brushing and flossing more diligently and attending regular six-month checkups and cleanings with your dentist. It also helps to quit using tobacco products, as they double your chance of developing gum disease.<\/p>\n

How Can You Treat Them?<\/h2>\n

Dental black triangles are not just a cosmetic issue. As mentioned earlier, food debris can get trapped in the spaces and encourage plaque buildup, increasing your risk for numerous other dental problems. That\u2019s why, if you notice these gaps between your pearly whites, it\u2019s important to get them evaluated by your dentist. They should have plenty of treatment options available, such as:<\/p>\n

Porcelain Veneers<\/h3>\n

These ultra-thin ceramic coverings can be placed over the front-facing surfaces of your teeth to close the gaps so that food particles don\u2019t get stuck there. Not only that, but they can also mask any other imperfections you may have in your smile.<\/p>\n

Dental Bonding<\/h3>\n

Bonding is a quick and easy way to close the spaces between your teeth. Your dentist can use a composite resin material to sculpt your pearly whites into the correct shape, restoring both their appearance and health.<\/p>\n

Crowns<\/h3>\n

Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit snugly over a tooth to restore its strength as well as its aesthetic appeal. They are also highly effective at bridging a gap between your teeth while providing extra protection to the tooth underneath.<\/p>\n

Besides just making your teeth appear older, dental black triangles pose a severe oral health risk. If you notice them while looking in the mirror one day, let your cosmetic dentist in Lakewood know right away.<\/p>\n
