When should you start flossing your little one's teeth? 🦷✨ The answer is simpler than you think: as soon as two teeth touch!
Flossing may seem like a "big kid" habit, but it's actually one of the most important parts of your child's oral care routine from the very beginning. Those tight spaces between baby teeth are prime real estate for hidden plaque and cavities, and brushing alone won't reach those spots.
Here's a quick tip: Make it a fun, no-pressure part of your child's bedtime routine, so it becomes second nature as they grow! It's done best when your little one sits with their head tilted back (or lies down), and you floss as if you're in the dentist's chair!
