Do you know what a diastema is?

It is something very common and the separation or space between two teeth.
It is usually seen on the upper central incisors (or "paddles"), although they can occur anywhere between the teeth.
Its origin can be a genetic condition, due to oral habits, dental loss or due to the presence of an over-inserted labial frenulum.
They have also become a trend lately thanks to certain celebrities, becoming a fashion to reproduce them artificially (although this is of course highly inadvisable).
While in children this condition is very normal in their first teeth, in adults it will require special attention, and it is generally recommended to correct these spaces to avoid problems such as the propensity for cavities or the deterioration of the gums due to their exposure. .
The solutions are many and varied, ranging from orthodontic treatment that places the teeth in their ideal position, to the application of dental veneers that fill the space in an aesthetic way, achieving a perfect smile.
As always, the essential thing is to visit your trusted dentist to advise you on the course of action that best suits you according to your case, and at Clínica Tascón we want to do that for you.
