How is the gap between teeth getting bigger and bigger after tooth washing?
The widening of the teeth after tooth washing is not caused by tooth washing. If there are many dental calculus, when the dental calculus accumulates between the teeth, it will oppress the health of the gums, and even make the gums shrink back and form the teeth. In the process of tooth cleaning, stains such as tartar around and between teeth will be removed, which makes people feel that the teeth are getting bigger, but in fact, the teeth are already there, which has nothing to do with tooth cleaning.
On the other hand, some people's gingivitis is congested and swollen. After tooth washing and anti-inflammation, the inflammation disappears, and they may feel that their teeth are getting bigger.
What should I do if my teeth become bigger after washing my teeth?
