Asked By:jackn in Houston, TX

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?
