Wisdom Tooth Brush – Step-by-Step Guide
Choose the Right Brush – Use a small-headed, soft-bristled toothbrush or an angled "wisdom tooth brush" for better reach.
Position the Brush – Tilt the brush at a 45° angle toward the gumline where the wisdom tooth emerges.
Gentle Cleaning – Use short, back-and-forth strokes to clean the chewing surface and sides of the wisdom tooth.
Clean Behind the Tooth – If accessible, gently brush behind the wisdom tooth to remove trapped debris.
Floss Carefully – Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean between the wisdom tooth and adjacent molar.
Rinse Thoroughly – Swish with an antibacterial mouthwash or warm salt water to reduce bacteria.
Check for Irritation – Ensure no bleeding or swelling persists; consult a dentist if discomfort continues.
This routine helps prevent decay, gum disease, and infections around wisdom teeth.
