This is a YouTube video titled "Top Oral Hygiene Techniques" created on November 6, 2023, discussing techniques for reaching wisdom teeth during brushing, including advice on mouth positioning to access hard-to-reach areas.
If people have a hard time, do you have a special technique for them to actually get their brush in the back there? Yeah. So most of my patients nowadays are starting to extract their wisdom teeth, but again, there's a good population that have them. They don't want to take them out, which I'm totally okay with, but I took time on it. And like you said, we have really strong muscles back here that when you open your mouth all the way, even me as a hygienist, when I'm looking at your mouth, I won't even see your wisdom teeth. They're hiding underneath your cheeks and underneath the muscle. So I always recommend them to close down. And sometimes you can even close all the way. Just depends on how big your mouth is. When you close down, you can actually get all the way back here to the back area.
