Searched and searched, couldn't find anyone else with this problem!!

After flossing for many years, I am suddenly unable to fit the floss
between my two back teeth on one side, on the bottom.

The harder I try to work the floss in there, the faster I break the
floss.

This just started the past 1-2 weeks. What could have changed in this
time to make this happen?

Any suggestions on what I can do here???

Help!!

See a dentist. S/He is the only person that could tell you for sure. Its
possible an old filling or part of the tooth has shifted/broken.

Agree with John. Could be a chipped filling, or decay. Have it checked.

Maybe your wisdom teeth are coming in and causing your teeth to shift
and become crowded. Need to get that checked because if they are
impacted it could cause some real problems later!
