hi mam
The gap is increasing because of periodontitis (loss of bone support to tooth).The picture shows severe bone loss for your age which is not expected.An OPG ( full mouth x ray ) has to be taken to evaluate bone support in other teeth too.
Next Steps
Please visit dentist who will refer you to a periodontist (Specialist in gum and bone health)
