What can be done to make this more closer to each other !? Kindly give an expert advise!.!.Thanks in advanceWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I assume that the gap you refer to is between the two central incisors!. The gap usually closes as the child grows, but sometimes it persists even when the permanent teeth erupt, a la David Letterman!. The gap (diastasis) is due to hypertrophic tissue of the base of the frenum, the midline veil of tissue you feel with your tongue between the gums and the inner surface of the lip!. An oral surgeon can excise this tissue and the teeth will approximate!. The procedure is deferred until the permanent teeth have erupted, not before!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
That is great that she has a space in her teeth!
I am serious!
This allows more room for her permanent teeth once she is older! She won't have crowded teeth and won't need braces!. Its not a definite thing but dentists love to see spaces in the baby teeth!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i wouldn't be worried about it now, she's still really young!. but if she gets a little bit older and she complains of pain, etc!. she might need braces in the future!.

No need to worry this early! Her baby teeth will look totally different than her adult teeth!. Do not worry about the teeth not being close enough or aligned until she gets older and her permanent teeth start to come in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry!. These are baby teeth and will fall out at around (I believe) 9-10 years old!. If her adult teeth that come in after that have a gap, then she should see an orthodontist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
