We have some that's shaped like an animal with floss at the end and LO actually enjoys using it himself. He has gaping teeth, so flossing his teeth is quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-flossing-your-lo#post-1379507 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:24:56 +0000 sandy 1379507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started being consistent after her 2 year check up. Her top teeth are gappy but her bottom teeth are side by side so we focus on those. It's hard to get to the back teeth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-flossing-your-lo#post-1379499 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:21:30 +0000 mrbee 1379499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: The doctor said you should floss even gappy teeth! I agree, it does seem less important... but apparently, flossing can remove plaque and bacteria buildup so it's helpful even if food isn't stuck in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-flossing-your-lo#post-1379494 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:20:11 +0000 autumnlove 1379494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 months....it is hit or miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-flossing-your-lo#post-1379492 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:19:53 +0000 mamimami 1379492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's teeth are so gappy it seems kinda pointless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-flossing-your-lo#post-1379484 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 17:16:43 +0000 mrbee 1379484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie's dentist said we should start flossing at 3 1/2... oops! We've been brushing 2-3 times a day, but haven't started regular flossing yet.</p> <p>He said to focus on the last two teeth in the four back quadrants of the mouth... some of those (all of them? can't quite remember) will be around until he's 12, so he said those are the most important. Guess we'll start flossing him tonight!</p> <p>When did you start flossing your LO? </p>
