Floss & toothbrush: Dental floss and a tooth brush are the most effective. If you have swelling behind your wisdom tooth , warm salt water (one half tsp in a half of a glass of water) will help, but see your dentist to see if their is enough room for this tooth in your mouth.

Narrow-headed Brush: because it can clean the impossible-to-reach areas that normal toothbrushes can’t get to. Use floss and antiseptic mouth rinse. See your dentist for prophylaxis at least twice a year.
