It’s tricky to reach your back teeth when brushing. Even though it’s a bit more effort, it’s so important to brush your back teeth properly.
Make sure that you are using the correct size brush for your mouth. Try closing your mouth, and shifting your jaw to the side, to reach the cheek side of those back molars. That will give you a bit more room. You can also tilt the brush at a 45-degree angle to reach the very back surface of your last tooth.
You may find that an electric toothbrush helps you reach those difficult areas more easily.
It takes a bit of trial and error to find a method that works best for you.
