Cleaning backs of teeth

[Guest guest]

OK, seriously, has anyone had any luck cleaning the inside of their

teeth? I am banded and can only open about 1/2 a finger. i will try

my water pik tonight on low setting, but i do not have permission

from my OS to do anything other than warm water rinse, salt water

rinse and baby toothbrush, which i cannot get in there anyway. i read

on here about hydrogen peroxide and ihave been using that even though

he did not say i could. the back of my front teeth are starting to

feel like cement. HELP........ (remember, i am a 7 times a day

brusher normally, so i know i am hyper sensitive to this......)

I really wouldn't use the waterpik unless you have permission. You

can still be numb on the inside of your mouth (gums, cheeks,

incision sites that have not completely healed) and you could do

yourself some serious damage without feeling it with the pressure of

the water, even if it is on the lowest setting (which I think is

fairly 'high'). I got permission and I'm very glad, but when I first

started using it, I accidentely aimed it at my gum in between my

SARPE gap, and started bleeding right away. That took a couple of

days to heal, so I'm very careful with that thing now.
