What to do if i cannot floss between specific teeth?

Flossing problems: See your dentist to find out why not? Broken filling, overhanging filling, fixed bridge, calculus or something else? Your dentist can find out why you are having a problem and either fix it or show you how.

See your Dentist: If you cannot floss between specific teeth, it should be a sign that that particular area should be checked by your dentist and cleaned better, not less! See your dentist for examination and professional cleaning.
