Today, I had a permanent crown placed. Before cementing it, the dentist confirmed that he could floss around the new crown. However, after the crown was cemented, I noticed that the floss does not fit on one side of the crown, preventing me from flossing properly. Will this issue resolve over time, or can adjustments be made to the crown without removing it?
Flossing between the crown and adjacent teeth should be possible. If you are unable to do so, I suggest contacting your dentist for an examination. There may be residual cement that needs to be removed, which can be easily corrected in a short visit.
You should be able to floss between the crown and adjacent teeth. If you are unable to do so, it is advisable to contact your dentist for further evaluation. There may be a piece of cement that needs to be removed, and correcting the issue should not be difficult.
If you are experiencing a gap or tightness between the crown and the adjacent tooth, it is advisable to visit your dentist to assess the issue. Excess cement can be removed or the contact can be loosened to resolve the problem.
Difficulty in flossing around a new crown may be due to leftover cement or slight tightness. It is recommended to visit the dentist to address these issues.
