Small "Black Hole" Space Between Front Teeth?

I have recently been brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush with soft bristles, flossing, using a gum stimulator, and using mouthwash. I just noticed a small space in between my two front teeth on last Wednesday that I never noticed before. The only reason why I feel it now is because I feel it when I speak and either air or saliva goes through it.





I went to the dentist for a cleaning today and he said that it wasn't big enough to use bonding for it and that it would look bad and that I should just get used to it. I have no gum disease and the pockets in my teeth are less than 3 mm. My concern wasn't really with how it looks but more because it is awkward when I speak now and it hasn't been a problem weeks ago.





Will the gum (I believe it's called interdental or gingivia papilla) grow or move to fill in the missing space without surgery? Is there anything that can be done surgically to correct this?





What could have caused this space in so short a time?

No the gum won't grow back.





I think I have seen the gap that you are talking about refered to as a "black triangle".





If your dentist doesn't want to repair it with composite, then they probably don't have the skill personally. You will probably find another dentist who will do it if you look.





EDIT: You probably had some decay that was hidden by calculus. That would explain why you suddenly saw it. Annoying isn't it.
Reply:maybe the hole was alway there but was filled in with plague. now that u use all those things to clean your teeth your knowed all the plague out and its just clean.





yes i know im spelling plague like the black plague, but i dont know how to spell well.
