After 9 months with no tooth, I finally had a dental implant crown placed where my lower right second molar (#31) used to be. Tonight I tried to floss like I always do (I floss twice a day) and I can’t get floss between any of the last 3 teeth (#28-#30) or between #30 and the implant. Is this something that will get better over time or is it something I need to call the dentist about?
 
usually after a few days it will be easier if not go back for adjustment.
 
Thanks! This is really helpful to know.
