My doctor put a crown on implant. Crown fell off after 2 weeks. Today she used permanent cement to glued it back. When she glued, I felt pressure, pinching on the gum. Now evening, I feel pressure, crown is tight. + I can not floss under crown anymore. Before (with another cement) when I flossed I could feel abutment. Now I can not go under crown, I can floss just sides. Did she use too much cement and glued crown to my gum? How can I check? (She checked excessive cement just by flossing 1 time)
