I'm sure you mean you brush three times a day. Wisdom teeth are hard to get to with a standard brush because the head of the brush is too large. Try using a small headed brush(children's brush) to reach those spaces, also a water pic is good for reaching the back teeth, and floss around the teeth as well as you can. Use rinses before brushing to fight plague, and a flouride rinse after brushing to help fight cavities in hard to reach places.

I brush my wisdom teeth just like the rest of my teeth and I do not have a problem with them. For you, I suggest a compact-size, soft bristle brush and brush at least 2 x a day, if possible after each meal. Make a real effort, with a smaller brush to get to all of your teeth and ideally brush for several minutes, the longer the better. Since you know you are missing that area, make an effort to spend time brushing it. Investing in the health of your teeth is one of the best investments you can ever make.

Your wisdom teeth are the last teeth in the back of your mouth. He may have said they were bad because dentists seem to like to remove them, they often grow in crooked. Just push your tooth brush back further or get a smaller brush, and get some of the floss things that are sort of T-shaped to get between the back teeth.

That is why wisdom teeth are stupid. THey are useless. People cannot reach they properly and so they get cavitys. That is why we suggest taking them out.
When you brush your teeth, shift your jaw to the side, and that way it gives you more space back there, so your toothbrush can reach it. Do it on both sides.

You can buy a long tooth brush with one of those flexy tops that will felx around the back of you tooth i.e, your widom tooth-the back. Also, you can try an electric toothbrush
