My front teeth were bonded today to fill a gap as well as a chip behind my front teeth. The bonding is so tight, i can barely get floss in there and then i hit a rough spot where the gloss shreds before finally hitting my gum. Is there anything i can do to smooth the gap and perhaps make it slightly wider for floss? He put paper in between while bonding, so it’s barely the thickness of the paper.
