When should children start flossing?

[tiffini]

Was just reading another thread, that reminded me to ask this question.

My DS is 4.5 yrs, he is not too keen on me brushing his teeth, so how on earth am i supposed to teach him to floss.

Was just thinking this last night!! Weird!

think I might do a search.

Will do a link if I find anything.

OMG age 3, blimey this is going to be a challenge.

Jeeeeeeso!

Will have a chat with him tonight about it. My ds is 4.

I need to floss more often too coz I just got another 2 fillings!

Relax ... maybe

This dentist says that flossing children's teeth is unnecessary, and doesn't need to be started before the age of 14.

Phew!!!!!!
