Do you feel my crown is should be made smaller so I will be able to floss, My mouth was immediately swollen and my bite if off. It also hurts when I chew, Also this is the second time my crown was applied the first time the gap was wide and I had food trapping. Should I find a new dentist??

It is always recommended to do bone grafting after extraction to help preserve your ridge. For implants, I would definitely suggest getting a bone graft. For denture or pontic, it is not required but still useful to get bone grafting to help preserve your ridge....
Hi, first of all should review the gingival part and check what state the nerve of the tooth or else you have to make a root canal.
It is highly unlikely that your hygienist damaged your crown. Extra time was likely spent on that tooth due to potentially having more inflammation of the gums here, especially if your crown has metal in it. Have your dentist take a look. Good luck.
