Lets sort this out for once and for all.

OK, I'm hearing a lot of people want to know the truth about tooth gaps. There is plenty of anectdotal evidence and hearsay about the matter, but apparently some are sticklers for facts and details.

going on what I've heard, they absolutely love it and totally go off. I'm pretty sure its true otherwise why would people say it?

It is obviously importnt to the OP. Also very weird that folks are talking to him about something so trivial compared to Daesh using poison gas, Australiaa;s economy, etc.

Truth is, dentists love encouraging folks to have their wisdom teeth removed so they can bill their patients for the often needless procedure. They also usually neglect to warn their patients that the teeth are very tightly compacted in the jaw and the removal of one tooth at the rear permits the other teeth to begin to shift position and spread out.

This lack of notification is intentionally self serving on the part of the dentist and ultimately the source of much income fitting dentures. As pressure being relieved allows the teeth to shift position the roots grasp on the upper jawbone loosens for all of the teeth. In time this will allow additional teeth to become loose necessitating more trips to the dentist. Always the dentist;s recommendation is to pull the loose teeth.

Never do dentists take blame for the condition, but instead when two or three teeth thus become loose they now offer for a 'slight' fee the fitting of partial dentures. Later when old age forces some degree of osteoporosis further loosening will occur and now the dentist has opportunity to sell full dentures.

So, in conclusion, the gap tooth merely means someone, by dentist or other means, lost a tooth during their life experiences and the spreading out of the teeth has begun.

Nothing mysterious about it.

Perhaps a better thing we should ask about is should dentists be fined whenever they pull a wisdom tooth?
Fair enough... The Australian economy is doing fine, would be doing better if iron ore and coal prices were higher.
I think blaming Daesh exclusively is a great mistake, indeed Syria is just one place in the middle east in turmoil. You could go back in a thousand years time, they'll still all be squabbling over something.

With regard to dentistry, as a child I had a gap that closed over time. In my mid 30's, I had my wisdom teeth out one by one as they abscessed and caused pain. The gap never returned.
I have tooth gaps, so what's the hearsay? dunno
people who have this.must be very happy....when eating oranges....spitting pips..outdunno rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing nerd laugh

Yeah I'm not so sure. But I'm pretty sure what they're all saying about the tooth gap is 100 percent true.
