Removing letter code gone wrong (C++)

I was writing this code below that is suppose to take in information from the user ( a sentence ) and remove the desired letter. However, it only works if that sentence is one word. If the information contains a space, it will terminate at the space.Any advice as how I can get the program to read the entire sentence?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>


using namespace std;

int main() {
string sentence;
char letterRemoved;

//Entering in Information
cout <<"Enter a sentence here!";
cin >> sentence;

cout <<"Enter letter to remove";
cin>>letterRemoved;

//Removing Occurence of letter
sentence.erase(remove(sentence.begin(), sentence.end(),letterRemoved), sentence.end());

//Print out
cout<<sentence << "\n";

return 0;
}

Reading input using cin >> sentence only reads until whitespace is encountered, and then stops. If you want to read an entire line (until the user presses enter), you want to use std::getline:

getline(cin, sentence);

Alternately, if you want to read up until a full stop character or a newline is found, you can use the delimeter argument to getline:

getline(cin, sentence, '.');
