I like to think of myself as HB's resident dental hygienist :) heffalump on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214945 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 06:59:43 +0000 heffalump 214945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just became a regular flosser too! I've been doing it for a couple of months. I look in the mirror. DH makes fun of me because I'm always making weird faces in the mirror while I floss. mediagirl on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214927 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 06:27:22 +0000 mediagirl 214927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @crash806: Haha.

Open your mouth wide and unwind so you have longer piece in between your fingers and stick it farther back there. Mirror helps and drool is inevitable, just lean over the sink. chopsuey on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214808 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:42:07 +0000 chopsuey 214808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ practice! I just stick my fingers back there. i've been flossing for a looooooong time though so it's easy. prettylizy on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214779 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:02:11 +0000 prettylizy 214779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use my tongue to pull (push?) the floss to the back. tororojo on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214777 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:57:05 +0000 tororojo 214777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't have a problem flossing in the back, but my husband uses the picks as well--maybe those would be good for you! regberadaisy on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214773 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:48:30 +0000 regberadaisy 214773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Are you using the string or dental picks? I use dental picks and have no issues getting to them! lavender on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214749 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:17:31 +0000 lavender 214749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Practice practice practice! Oh and look into the mirror it'll make it a little easier to get to your back teeth because you'll be able to see. If that doesn't help or if you get discouraged you can try the floss on a handle, only thing is that it's not bendable so you might miss the corners/line angles of your teeth! Yay to flossing! mrbee on "Flossers: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flossers-how-do-you-get-at-the-gaps-in-your-back-teeth#post-214726 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 17:31:56 +0000 mrbee 214726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have decided to become a regular flosser, for the first time in my life. I have no trouble flossing most of my teeth, but the ones in the back are super hard to get to. I think maybe I have to look in the mirror? Or maybe I just need more experience? Any flossers out there: how do you get at the gaps in your back teeth?
