It still feels a bit "strange" from time to time, just not like a real tooth, but after all, it IS not a real tooth ;-).

Concerning the flossing problem- the two teeth in that area are pretty tightly spaced (it is two molars), and getting the floss to go in is fine but when I want to pull it upwars, and back out, it gives me "nervy" twinges for a few seconds. I am using very thin floss now which works better. It almost feels as if there is a "bump" or protruding tiny edge towards the cusp of the tooth, but I am not sure if I have a composite filling there- I will post my last panoramic X-rays, maybe you can even see first glance whether there is a filling or not? Sorry I had to post so many x-rays, but my untrained eye cannot make out which is the right one :-(. The twinges occur between 12 and 13. Last time, my dentist checked for crakcs using a plastic, bristle less toothbrush and checked all cusps in that region individually, he also shone a certain light there, could not see anything. I am scared of cracks, and am wondering what other symptoms would go along with that? I have no sensitivity when biting or drinking hot and cold. I am wondering, maybe it would even help if he just made the space between those teeth a tad bigger so it is easier for me to floss there.
Also, pay no attention to the root canals on the X-rays, they are gone, those are the ones that I got removed a few months ago :-).

Thank you!
