Dental examination: Cavities? Maybe. Calculus? Probably. If it has been more than six months since your last dental cleaning and exam, now is the time to call for an appointment.

Recession: Sounds like gum (and underlying bone) recession. Please make arrangements to see a Periodontist, a gum specialist. Putting this off will only allow the process to continue.

Comprehensive Eval: "gaps and black between them" usually indicate the loss of interdental papilla and are a sign of bone loss between the teeth.The situation that you are describing may need a multidisciplinary approach such as the use of periodontist and general dentist. See your dentist for comprehensive evaluation.

Can silicone interdental pick cause black triangle between teeth? I ask this because when I started to use them, it hardly went in my front teeth as there was no gap but now it can go in and can see a little black triangle. Could I have caused damage?
