While you have temporary crowns , you shouldn't floss ... around that tooth. You thought we had a big typo huh? The cement that we use to cement temporary crowns is not nearly as strong as the cement that we use on the permanent crowns. Of course, right... well floss will pop it right off and you'll have to come back in to have it recemented. That is a bummer, because nobody likes to visit the dentist unnecessarily , right? If the temporary does pop off and you are can't get in , you can always put a little toothpaste , or better yet, denture cream on it til we can take care of it for you. Just try not to loose or break the crown.
Don't forget to brush and floss all the rest of your teeth!
