Is there any kind of floss that's designed to get in-between the really narrow gaps? I have these two bottom teeth that are kinda really close together and it's the only gap I can't fit the floss into. I floss everyday and I really want to get that gunk out of there and it's driving me nuts. What can I do?

Try piano wire. Works very well.

Used waxed floss and "saw" between the teeth? I find it hard to imagine that floss can't slip between any two teeth.

Yes there is. I can't say for sure what brand makes it or what it's called. But there is extra thin floss. I've had to use it at work before.

Also, if there is a gap at the bottom of the 2 teeth(close to the gums), but it's closed off towards the tips of the teeth, you could use something called a 'bridge threader.(can find at walmart or just about anywhere) It's a little piece of wire(like fishing line) with a loop in it. You pull the floss through the loop then you can push the floss through the gap in the tooth with the bridge threader. It's commonly used by those who have braces.(to push the floss under the metal braces)
