Sorry for the blood stained instruments

Dentist here! This bad girl is a hook shaped wisdom tooth root... Took me about 1 hour to pull out this sucker...

Mine were like that, wrapped tightly around the nerves and hooked into the jaw. Thank you anesthesia.

In addition to that, technique and brushing time matter. Use a soft/medium brush and always move from gum to teeth twisting your wrist
