Tissue defect: If this is a common foodtrap, then the tissue often deteriorates to form a bigger space. If you work diligently on keeping the food out (stimudent or softpik or floss) any time it gets in there AND you brush,floss, and rinse well for the next 2 weeks, then it may resolve. If not, then see your Dentist for evaluation. You may need a restoration to close the contact between the teeth. Good Luck.

Periodontal Disease?: So hard to guess a diagnosis without being able to see you. Please see a local dentist for further guidance.
