There is a gap slowly forming between two front teeth and the gum below is slightly discoloured. will my teeth fall out?

Not likely: This could be the sign of advancing gum disease and should be evaluated asap. With proper treatment you can save the teeth.

If you don't treat : You are describing periodontal disease which can lead to tooth loss, especially if not treated. See your dentist.
