Flossing kids

My daughter is 4 and my son is 2. I am just wondering if any of you floss your toddlers' teeth? I am not sure if I should?

we don't! haha... but guess it's more a personal habit? brushing helps remove food stuck too, but if they are stubborn, go with flossing, and choose something without mint, in case it's too spicy for yr kids.....

Absolutely! If anything, it gets them into the habit of taking care of their own teeth. Experts say that you're supposed to start flossing a child's teeth around age 2, so now is a good time to start :)

You can do it gently and don't force it. The gums might bleed. Also, its better if they make this a habit, so you can start flossing them atleast

You can teach your kids to floss yourself, but your family dentist can do a better job teaching them how to get in between each tooth.

Brushing their teeth twice a day and flossing is a great habit to instil in your toddlers!
