Is it a problem if I can’t floss between my wisdom tooth & crown/bridge because it was cemented too close?

Asked By:j9090 in Los Angeles, California

The bridge was placed next to my wisdom tooth. I believe it is a tight contact which is why I cannot floss between the bridge and wisdom tooth. I know it’s important to floss every tooth which is why I am worried. Should I just waterpik instead of getting it readjusted? There is no problem flossing under the bridge but the problem is I cannot get the thread to go inbetween the wisdom tooth and bridge. For example, if a crown is too close to your natural tooth, it is too tight to floss
