My DD1's dentist (which we visited last fall, oops.) recommended getting her used to flossing, particularly because she said she had crowded lower teeth.
They've since spaced out but I am going to buy some floss picks to get her used to it so her next visit isn't as traumatic as the first!
I don't even floss my own teeth, which is sad. I probably should, ha. Do you floss your LO's teeth?

I do. We call it tickling his teeth and he cooperates pretty well. 
He is 2.

His teeth aren't very close together, so we only floss when there's something stuck in the space. He loves flossing though, I always take a piece and give him a piece, so he gets to do it too.

He only has two teeth in the back that are touching and we just started flossing in that area. I got the picks too and he loves them. I did mine first and then showed him how to do his (with me doing it again after).

Not yet. We do use an electric toothbrush... In my mind that will do the job for now.

We did floss sticks for a long time starting at 3. At 4.5 we now use regular floss bc I think it just does a better job. It's just easier getting her back teeth (especially the top back teeth)

We floss my daughters teeth nightly! We use the little floss sticks. My son still has space between his teeth so it's not necessary yet.

Sometimes, but we got him some of those picks and we've been encouraging him to do it himself. I'm so bad with my teeth, but I'm at least better with the kids.
