A child’s teeth usually start touching each other around the age of 24 to 36 months. This is ideally the time that they should learn how to floss.
Flossing is an important step in tooth care and can make the difference in a cavity starting in between the teeth where food gets stuck.
It’s important that you explain why flossing is important to your child. Also, make it a fun thing to do. Purchase disposable flossers made just for kids. They are colorful, easy to hold on to, and fit well in a child’s mouth.
Lastly, make flossing a part of your child’s daily routine, and stick to it.
