I accidentally flossed near my temporary crown, which stayed attached to my molar, but the cement in between the 2 molars fell out. there is now a sizable gap between the 2 molars that wasnt there before i got the temporary crown. is this a concern?

Should not be a problem. Keep the area clean until your next appointment.

As long as you have no pain or discomfort than you should be fine. Use a water PIK to flush out debris between teeth and brush gentile with a soft brush.
