Sudden gap in 2nd canine tooth
I have noticed there is a gap in 2nd canine tooth both left and right side as if its size has reduced. Is this a reason to worry and what is the cure?

Hi, the tooth will never reduce its size on its own , if its trimmed for a certain purpose it will appear smaller in size. However since you have been seeing increasing gaps in between your teeth there could be a gum and bone problem that has been pre existing and has been aggrevatedover a period of time. Kindly visit your dentist and get a round of cleaning done and he will suggest further treatment based upon your dental condition
Next Steps
Kindly visit your dentist as this could further spread and cause more spacing in between other teeth also
