What should i use for cleaning behind a crown other than floss or picks?

Water pic: You want to treat a crown like a y other tooth. So use whatever you use to clean behind the rest of your teeth. Floss is great another choice is a water pic or an electric tooth brush.

Mostly brush: Use a brush angled at a 45 degree angle or a soft rubber tip in the space between the tooth and the gums. It brings up the question of why is this crown a particular problem for you?
