Suggest Alternate Method To Floss Between Teeth

A few days ago I had some fillings in between my teeth. However, with one tooth, I'm afraid to floss. I always end up tearing the floss with that gap and want to know if I shouldn't floss that gap and should do something else instead if there is an alternative.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. you can floss if there is any catch it means there is some overhanging restoration consult your dentist and get the filling replaced. if the filling is fine then you can use interdental brushes that will help in cleansing the teeth. i hope my answer will help you take care.
