I had a permanent crown put in today. The doctor checked that he was able to floss around the new crown before he cemented it in. I'm not sure though if he flossed after it was cemented. The first night with this new crown and the floss will not fit on one side of the crown so I am unable to floss. Will this go away with time or can adjustment be made to the crown without having to remove it?

Answer: Time typically doesnt help! Time typically will not improve the ease of flossing in a new crown. There can be left over cement that was used to place your crown left in between your teeth. Or the area may be slightly tight to floss. Either situation will require you to visit your dentist for him to properly check the situation and eliminate the tightness for you.All the best.

Answer: Unable to floss around crown After cementing a crown it is routine to floss between the teeth to remove excess cement stuck between. If there is cement between the teeth and if fully sets it is very difficult to remove. I would suggest you see your dentist with the concern and see if they can get floss through the area. It could also be an extremely tight contact between the teeth that is preventing your flossing as well.
