I too have been having problems flossing the rear top molars. It's hard getting the proper angle to get the floss in (I use SuperFloss). I am VERY determined to not miss a night of flossing, so I try and try again, often getting so frustrated I'm almost in tears. The first night I got my tops on I think it took me like 10 minutes or more to floss. The bottoms are a breeze...It's just those top rear molars. I'm thinking about getting a Waterpik, seriouslly!!
everyone talks about this waterpik is it like a hummingbird? I don't see how it could replace flossing and getting under the gums. If it does though I'm going to have to rush out and buy one it takes me 10 minutes to floss my teeth as well simply because I can't reach those top rear molars to get floss weaved through. Ugh only 12 more months of this to go.
