Flossing is one of those things that we all know we should do, but we don't. Even for kids, it's important to floss daily. Here are some tips for getting into healthy flossing habits:
- You should start flossing as soon as your child's teeth are touching each other, even if it's their baby teeth.
- Make sure you pull the floss firmly against the teeth. You're trying to remove food and other particles where your brush can't reach.
- You can use either disposable flossers or regular dental floss.
