Question:
Gold Crown and Floss: I have a gold crown and when I floss the crown it leaves a black stain on the floss. It almost looks like oxidation. The floss I am using is whitening floss. Should this be ocurring? ...Visitor from CO

Answer:
I have not had this question before and really do not have a definitive answer.

However, to be sure, the more effecient you are with your oral hygiene and in particular your floss, the longer your crown will last and the healthier your gums will be.

I am curious about this apparent chemical reaction and even if your gold crown is not of the highest gold content, the assumption made is still there should be no concern. Check with your dentist to insure you do not have a food impaction area.
