Hi. A little over a year ago I had my top two wisdom teeth out. It was a terrible experience as both of the teeth cracked and half of one receeded into my gumline while the dentist had to have his assistant hold down my head while he knelt on the bed and used both his hands to pull out the other tooth!! I always had a small gap between my front teeth but now they are spreading even furthur apart and what was never a problem has become a problem. I visited the same dentist as the spreading started right after the wisdom teeth extraction and he claimed the two events were not related. My front teeth ache constantly now since they are moving more and more everyday - they are starting to look bad and I can get my tongue in between them!! So my question is two fold: 1) was the dentist just covering his *** when he said the extraction has nothing to do with my teeth spreading now after being in the same place for 23 years? and 2) Should I go to an orthodontist

Yes and Yes!!! He is trying to cover his ***. There is extra space in your gums now, your teeth will take it. If you really feel uncomfortable with your teeth the way they are then go to an orthodontist, just be aware that putting your teeth back in their place won't be any less painful

Your teeth are moving because there is more room... Go to a different Dentist. You're right about covering his @ss.

Nahhh yet final night i needed to be attentive to the thank you to make pasta bake, so I requested a question contained in the cooking & recipies area or despite the fact that they call it! I placed a track question in there too, yet on the final minute i became like "oops! My undesirable" a minimum of I remembered to take it out! The Cooking area people could have been kinda perplexed if I requested what track they have been listening to :-p

Yes..... and, Yes ! Your teeth are 'shifting', to compensate for the 'room' that has opened up.
It sounds to me, like the first dentist did it, just for the $ ! I would go for 'help'... and get something done about this, "asap".
