I use flossers. They are little plastic handles that have floss allowing you to reach backsides of teeth.

I use a Reach flosser. It's like a comfortable toothbrush with a replaceable horseshoe-shaped flosser on the end instead of brush. Because it has a longer handle, It's easier to reach the back teeth and easier to manage than floss. You can get them in grocery stores.

I use the soft brush, tiny between tooth brush and thingy with the rubber tip given to me by dentist. I was told I had good dental hygiene. Not always easy!!!

Electronic toothbrush and much maneuvering, plus seeing the dentist every six months.

I use an electric toothbrush. I also use a water pik and floss. I have dry mouth so I use Biotine to help. I get my teeth cleaned 4 times a year.
