Most people are surprised to learn that you should floss your baby’s teeth. Emily Hahn, DDS, offers some tips to effectively floss your baby’s teeth.
- Flossing cleans in between the teeth where a toothbrush doesn’t reach.
- It doesn’t matter if you use a floss pick or dental floss. Go with your preferred floss type.
- When flossing, make a “C” shape around the tooth. Avoid pushing the floss down hard on the gums and instead clean the side of the tooth.
