Gap between teeth and gum
 
I'm not sure if this should be here or in GS&A but here goes. I have a tiny gap between my front teeth and it looks like my gum there is going down into it. I can feel it with my tongue at the back of them. The earliest I can see my dentist is september so should I wait until then or can a GP do anything about it? Stupid question I know but I thought I'd ask about GP anyway.

Did you suffer an injury to that area?
When was the last time that you went to the dentist?
Are you a regular flosser etc.?
I know that the space between my teeth varies and I depend on my regular visits to my dentist- because honestly I do not know the answer.

I think it might be worth calling your dentist and seeing if you can voice your concerns and get an earlier appointment or get squeezed in if the dentist thinks it might be serious.

Or yeah getting your GP's advice is smart too........but not their area of speciality.
