I looked into it because I was curious.
The black triangle, which is a gap between teeth, is
1) Occurs when the gum bone erodes due to aging or periodontitis, or
2) It is said that after orthodontic treatment, hidden spaces often become visible as the teeth are straightened.
It bothers me and makes me upset every time I look in the mirror!!!
According to dentists, to prevent this~~~
1) Be sure to remove tartar through regular scaling once or twice a year, and
2) Even when using interdental brushes or dental floss, avoid applying strong impact to the gums.
Proper brushing habits using gently
They say you need to have it to stop it from progressing~~~^^
Treatments for existing black triangles include
1) When the gap is small, filling it with tooth-colored resin is the most popular and simplest method, but,
Since there is a risk of discoloration or detachment over time, I think meticulous aftercare is very important!!!
2) If the gap is too wide or if you want to change the shape of the tooth itself
If you undergo a laminate procedure where the surface is slightly trimmed and a porcelain plate is attached, or
Through interdental reduction orthodontic treatment, which involves finely trimming the sides of the teeth to bring them into close contact with each other
They say it can magically eliminate gaps~~~^^
In very severe cases
They also consider a difficult gum graft surgery,
If left untreated, it can lead to cavities or gum disease.
They say it's best to get a diagnosis at the dentist right away~~~!!!

- 02CommentsIf there are no issues with your teeth or X-rays, it could be a temporary symptom caused by fatigue or stress. You may experience throbbing pain if your gums are tired or if you have a habit of clenching your teeth while sleeping. Please brush your teeth with warm water, get plenty of rest, and monitor the situation a little longer. If the symptoms persist, I recommend getting a follow-up examination at a different dental clinic.421026.10.13

- 01CommentsYes, even if they look fine on the outside, it is a good idea to check old crowns regularly. Even if the crown itself hasn't cracked, cavities can form between the crown and the tooth, or the bonding can weaken, making it difficult to detect these issues just by looking. Especially for old crowns, it is advisable to check the edges of the crown, the condition of the gums, the presence of internal cavities, and the condition of the tooth roots and surrounding bone during regular checkups. X-rays can also be used for verification if necessary. However, there is no need to replace a perfectly good crown simply because it is old. If there is no pain, discomfort when chewing, food getting stuck, or swollen gums, many people choose to keep their crowns while monitoring their condition.545026.09.28

- 03CommentsYes, it is a good idea to check old dental prosthetics periodically, even if they look fine on the outside. Prosthetics like crowns or bridges may appear fine on the outside, but cavities can form on the inner teeth or the adhesive strength can weaken. If it were me, during a regular check-up, I would check for: cavities on the edges of the prosthetics whether there is any swelling or receding of the gums if there is any discomfort or pain when chewing and, if necessary, the condition of the tooth roots and surrounding areas using X-rays. I think I would check these things together.603026.09.28
