 Is flossing can create spaces between your teeth?


Teeth with gaps between them are signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease. Your teeth could become spaced apart for a number of causes. Ineffective brushing is one of the causes. Yet, according to Redding Family Dental, flossing is unlikely to result in gaps if done properly. In between your thumb and fingertip, tightly grasp the floss. 

Use a sawing motion to carefully guide the floss between your teeth at this point. Keep in mind that pushing and snapping the floss into the gums can lead to irritation, bleeding, and eventually recessed gums and gaps between the teeth. The biggest contributor to diastema (tooth gaps) is the disparity between mandible and tooth sizes. When teeth are of a normal height, improper spacing results. 

A thin diamond strip, a precise, thin, flexible piece of metal that slips between teeth, is one of the most popular. To remove the enamel, the orthodontist will roll it back and forth. Diastemas are the spaces between two teeth. Although they can occur between any two teeth that are near to one another, they are most frequently found between two incisor teeth. According to the American Dental Association, up to 25% of people have some kind of dental issue.
