Dear Karen,
Are her teeth falling out, or simply short?
If they are short, that means with her diet she is keeping them that way. This is much better than the teeth being too long. Gerbils use their front teeth to nibble but far more important are her vack teeth, so don't be too concerned.
If Angel appears in pain at all or stops eating, you should ask your vet to examine her.
