Gums Bleed when I Floss in the Middle of New Permanent Crowns?

April 26, 2013
Asked By:msmiller

Just had 2 front teeth replaced with 2 new permanent crowns. When I floss in between the middle of the crowns it bleeds heavily. It does not bleed on the sides of the crowns only in the middle of the 2 front crowns. Is there a problem?
