How do you floss a permanent crown?

I am a 38 year old male. I want to know how can I floss a permanent crown.

Just like a regular tooth.
Floss just like a regular tooth. Just because the tooth is crowned does not mean there is a special way to floss it
The same way you do normal teeth
You can floss a crown. If there is a difficulty using regular floss you can try other types of floss like a floss threader or super floss.
You floss a permanent crown just like you would a “regular” tooth. This will help you:

You should be able to floss your crown normally, or you can pull the floss out the side, rather than pulling up
Hi!

A permanent crown would be flossed just like a regular tooth, between the tooth a gum line, into the gum line while hugging the tooth like a C-shape with the floss, and scrapping gently up. I have a video on this on my instagram - @vidadentistry!
