Is it at all possible that flossing could result in tooth gaps?

February 8th, 2012
Q.

Hi I have started flossing but have a gap between my teeth(front teeth)..I thought this was initially die to gum disease but it doesnt appear to be the case, I was wondering if flossing widens the gap b/w all my teeth. I am a little concerned over this. Apparantely my son is having the same pattern of teeth structure as i have and some millimeters out which is not visible to a normal eye. Please suggest what to do about the former and the later issues. Is it good to get my son habitual to flossing at a very early age. P.s.: My son will complete his 3 years in january. My husband also has gap b/w his front teeth and a little bit inclined outwards. If it is gum diseasedoes that mean that my son will be likley to have it or is it not hereditory?
