Flossing & LO

Do you floss LO's teeth?

I was making a dentist appointment for myself with a new dental office and decided to poke around on their website.

They had a link to the Crest website that suggests to start flossing when two teeth start touching.

I can barely get DS to sit still long enough to brush his teeth... much less floss them! All of DS's front teeth touch... but flossing isn't really something I thought about until I clicked the link.

No flossing here, I don't think that would go over well. I struggle with what I call brushing.

I'm also not sure how much her teeth touch...I'm sure some of them do. I'll have to do a mouth check tonight.

All of her front teeth touch but I'm happy if I can get her to cooperate long enough to brush them. I can't even imagine trying to floss. Plus, if I stick a finger in her mouth she immediately clamps down and does not let up.

Um...no. That would not go over well. She does have pretty good spacing between her teeth though

LOL!

Did the person who recommended that have children??

No way I could floss her teeth.

We have the little flossers with a handle. I wish I could say I'm more regular with it. Actually if DD sees me flossing she starts getting excited & then I have to do hers. She loves it!

My dentist gave me a toothbrush (nice!) and floss (hahaha) for V at my last appointment. I thought the floss was pretty crazy. We will be waiting a bit for that one.

I only started flossing my kids teeth when they were about 5 years old or so. Our dentist never suggested it before that. We did on occasion floss DS#1's teeth if he had a piece of food stuck between them but other than that not regularly u
