These appear due to spaces between your teeth where your gum tissue doesn\u2019t completely fill the area. The triangular gaps can make you feel self-conscious about smiling and laughing because they make your smile seem incomplete. Luckily, your cosmetic dentist in Goodlettsville offers a few treatment solutions to restore your oral health and close these gaps.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Black Triangles Between Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Ibrahim_Taher\/publication\/270279114_Black_Triangles_Causes_and_Management_A_Review_of_Literature\/links\/54f2efee0cf2f9e34f065f82.pdf?_ga=2.41558689.2061770329.1576760077-749333065.1551879624\">review<\/a>\npublished in the British Journal of Applied Science &amp; Technology, multiple\nstudies have found that black triangles can occur in up to 67 percent of people\nolder than 20, meaning it\u2019s an incredibly common condition. They can be the\nresult of several causes, including one as simple as a person\u2019s oral structure.\nSome additional reasons that these occur include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Aging<\/li><li>Gum disease causing receding gums<\/li><li>Separating tooth roots after orthodontic treatment<\/li><li>Gaps between teeth<\/li><li>Abnormal tooth shape and structure<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum disease, a primary cause of this issue, is a common\ncondition that can wreak havoc on your mouth by causing permanent damage. Here\nare some factors that can increase your risk of developing this condition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Poor dental hygiene<\/li><li>Genetic makeup<\/li><li>Crooked and crowded teeth<\/li><li>Tobacco use<\/li><li>Pregnancy <\/li><li>Diabetes<\/li><li>Certain medications<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Health Risks Caused By Black Triangles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are countless oral health risks associated with black\ntriangles, even though many people consider them to be strictly cosmetic\nissues. These spaces between your teeth can build up with plaque, tartar, and\nharmful oral bacteria that cause cavities and other several oral problems.\nWithout thorough checkups and routine professional cleanings, they can\neventually lead to the formation of gum disease and even tooth infections. That\u2019s\nwhy it\u2019s important to let your dentist know if they have recently appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosmetic Treatment Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you speak with your dentist in Goodlettsville about the\nsmall spaces between your teeth, they\u2019ll discuss <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodlettsvillesmiles.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">different\ntreatment options<\/a> to close these gaps and improve your oral health. Some of\nthese suggestions may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Porcelain Veneers: <\/strong>Strong, thin porcelain\nshells that are custom crafted to fit over the visible surface of your teeth to\nclose gaps between them.<\/li><li><strong>Direct Bonding: <\/strong>Composite resin that\u2019s\ncustom-selected to match the color of your natural enamel and sculpted and\ncured to close gaps between teeth. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While some causes for black triangles can be completely out\nof your control, the best way to keep them from forming is to remain diligent\nabout brushing and flossing every day. Visiting your dentist for routine\ncheckups and cleanings can also help prevent the issue from occurring. Although\nthere\u2019s no guarantee that they will never form, you\u2019ll be able to rest easy\nknowing your dentist will be able to provide you with early intervention if\nthey do appear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Deidra Harrison-McClain started her career as a dental\nassistant before graduating at the top of her class with her Doctor of Dental\nSurgery from Meharry Medical College in Nashville.
