What happens if it seems like the inlay i got done seems a little to big? flossing gets hard because its too big. how can this be fixed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inlay: If you can't floss the tooth with a new inlay see your dentist again and have this adjusted. As you know flossing is important to maintain the health of this tooth. Adjustment can be made.
