I have a dental question. I have wide gaps between my teeth, canine to canine on top and bottom, they dont cosmetically bother me, but, I wonder if the gaps could mean danger or harm to my gums? - I saw a dentist once for wisdom teeth issues (they are a real pain, even now and need removing) but all he seemed to want to discuss with me was fixing my gaps and THEN worrying about my wisdom teeth removal. Would is be okay to tell a dentist, lets move past the gap issue and just get these wisdom teeth out of me?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The gap or spacing between the teeth will not harm you but esthetically or appearance wise it may harm you. If there is a deep bite along with the spacing then it can harm the teeth and joints. For time being, get the wisdom tooth treated with extraction.  For the pain and infection, you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic).  After getting the tooth removed, consult an orthodontist and take a second opinion. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
