I got an implant with a crown recently. Is it necessary that I should floss under the crown?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. 1) If proper hygiene is not maintained, it is possible to get peri-implantitis which is oral mucosal (tissue lining in the mouth) inflammation and bone loss around the implant region over time. 2) Food lodgement happens if there is space between the implant and the nearby tooth. Even if food lodgement occurs, it will not get lodged into the head of the implant to which the crown is screwed. 3) If food lodgement is your concern, do not floss in that region; instead, try using interdental brushes to remove the food deposits between the teeth. 4) If using an interdental brush is uncomfortable, I suggest you follow chemical plaque control measures like mouthwashes containing Chlorhexidine luconate 0.12 % every day at night, which will prevent inflammation. 5)The best way to prevent inflammation is to get scaling (professional cleaning) done once in six months or one year. I hope this helps. Feel free to reach back for further queries.
