I get floss caught between my teeth after having a filling replaced. Why?

Overhangs

Well fitted fillings are smooth and continuous with the tooth. If a filling is poorly fitted, the filling ‘overhangs’ the tooth and this creates a catch that tears she we use floss. Constant fraying or tearing of dental floss usually indicates a problem with a filling.
