teeth brushing

(Anonymous) 2014-02-26 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
one of my back molars (the farthest back on the left side of my mouth, fwiw) is really close to my jaw back there, so it's pretty hard to reach around that area, especially the side of the tooth closest to my cheek. i'm worried i'm going to get a cavity there as a result, since my cheek naturally covers that side of the tooth up. this doesn't happen on my right side. i try really hard to clean this tooth but even with really small cleaning tools i feel like i'm not getting it clean enough, i guess. my reach is incredibly limited.

does anybody have any recommendations for something like this? i've only recently noticed it's become a problem, so i haven't gotten a chance to ask my dentist yet. i'm just wondering if others have similar issues.

Floss. Floss is the best tooth cleaning invention there is. Just take a piece of floss and make sure to get the back and outer sides of the tooth in addition to the crack between it and the tooth in front of it.

yeah i floss every day, but the space back there is so cramped that it's hard to position my fingers in a way that makes for easy cleaning on the troublesome side of my molar. :(

Have you tried the flossers that are basically little forks with a bit of floss between the arms? I have a small mouth and similar flossing difficulty, and these things help so much.

Don't skip flossing, that's for sure. They're expensive as hell, but those electric toothbrushes usually have a small head and they do a great job of cleaning. You could also try a child size toothbrush to get back there.

Try closing the mouth as much as possible while brushing - you'll get much closer to the the teeth in the back when your jaw is more relaxes. For flossing try dental floss picks - they can be easier to use than normal floss for places you can't reach otherwise.

A water pick, maybe? I can't remember how useful they are around the back teeth though.

Can you afford/do you see a dentist regularly? Ask if it's clean enough/if you're doing a good job. If you are, relax. Otherwise, ask for pointers.

If you don't see a dentist/can't afford one, then, you got some good advice above. :)
