Question

Hello, I realized a black triangle 5 weeks ago between my teeth. Is there anything I could do to eliminate it?

Patricia Moezinia, DDS · Answer

The black triangle between the teeth is indicative of periodontal disease, and possibly loss of adhesion of the gum, with loss of alveolar bone. To correct it the first step would be to start with dental cleaning sessions, once a correct hygiene is achieved, analyze if a periodontal corrective surgery is necessary, in our clinic Empower You Smile, Dr. Bagga, specialist in periodontics, will be in charge of clearing your doubts.

Mark M. Davis, DDS · Answer

Yes, you can have more composite placed to correct the spacing, or if that is not a good option, the space can be filled with lip filler to plump up the space and remove the triangle.

Describe your relationship with dental floss. Also are u grinding your teeth? Many factors can contribute to appearance of black triangles
