Flossing. Some parents question the need to floss a child’s teeth, but in most cases teeth in the back of a child’s mouth contact each other on the sides. Even some front teeth may tightly contact neighboring teeth. When teeth are so close together, food and dental plaque accumulate between them. No matter how vigorously or carefully those areas are brushed, the toothbrush bristles cannot penetrate and clear out the food and plaque. Dental floss dislodges all that debris so the toothbrush can sweep it away.

It’s worthwhile getting your child used to gentle flossing as soon as you notice the teeth touching. Your child’s dentist or dental hygienist can demonstrate all the methods used to hold a child for perfect brushing and flossing. When your child is able to brush and floss effectively without your help, she will already be accustomed to the daily habit.
