Anyone have trouble flossing between your 2nd molar and wisdom teeth? How do you!


Question: Reach! Actually, if it's your upper second molar and wisdom teeth, you may need to close your mouth just a little bit to get your fingers back far enough. Your lower jaw bone has an extension on it that when you open as wide as possible, the extension moves forward and makes the space at the top in the back of your mouth really tight. If you're into the more scientific description, it's the coronoid process of the mandible.
