Don't goggle at my baby

[tryingtobemarypoppins2]

but he has a MASSIVE gap between his two top teeth and he looks
Please tell me they will push together!

How old is he?

Dd had a big gap between hers when they first came through but as soon as the rest came through everything shifted about and she has completely normal, gap-free teeth now.

My gap closed.

When I was about 35 :)

Never bothered me though. I quite miss my gap.

Gaps are useful. DD has far too many teeth and in the last fortnight has had four extracted.

My MIL would have called them "lucky teeth!"

my baby is the same, a friend told me in france this would be lucky! I am just trying to forget about it!

My children don't have gaps. Dentist said they might suffer from crowding with next teeth. So gaps are good.

My ds1 has gaps between his teeth, not massive but noticeble.

Our dentist said that it's a good thing as there'll be plenty of space for his adult teeth.

How old is your ds? Has he been to a dentist? Once they've got teeth any dentist will see them and probably be able to reassure you.

my gap closed, i had perfetct teeth during my teenage years,then my teeth went too far together.

I had a Madonna / Lauren Hutton style gap until I was 24. Then it went because of some gum shifting that apparently goes down in the late teenage years. I didn't miss it till it was gone

Until then I was quite enamoured of Chaucer's Wife of Bath whose gap was indicative of sexual prowess it is said.

Sorry totally off topic and inappropriate on a baby development thread. Forgive me.

DS has this, he had to wait until he was 13 and is having a brace fitted next week. I think it looks cute!

I like gaps. I'd like that.

My niece had this - now aged 5, it's hard to imagine the gap was ever there.

Sorry he is 9 months :)
and I meant giggle! Sorry!! Sounds like its not a major issue then, bless him and his gap!

DD has a gap, she's 13 mo now. Once the teeth grow down more it becomes less noticable and the eeth either side seem to have close it a bit.

My DD is nearly 4 and still has a gap. It looks cute.
That supermodel that David Walliams just married has a stonking gap and she's quite pretty....

I had no room for mine and had 6 teeth extracted and now only have one canine tooth which makes me feel like i am lopsided

Enjoy his unique little smile while it lasts

it will most likely close when hsi otehr teeth come through. plus, if it doesn't he will be a good singer it's a win/win situation.

er ... check out my nickname. Aint nothing wrong with a gap-toothed grin (although mine has grown smaller with age). DD also looking like she might be getting the Tarby look too.

My DS still gappy too, he is 3.3 never notice ot now but he is quite gappy between all his teeth - nice teeth though!

My nephew had a gap in his teeth when he was tiny sooo cute! My mum still has a gap in hers at 63, she says that it seemed huge when she was little. It's smaller now!
