at what age does flossing start?
are we suppose to floss our kid's teeth for them?
at what age can they learn?
should they be using floss sticks verses floss?
do you buy them a water pik?

if I may request, can you answer using these 3 categories, under age 3, 3-8, and 8 and older

Ask your dentist. If you want to PM me, I can do that for you.

I'm almost positive the answer is yes you are suppose to be flossing your kids teeth.

my question is do women/mothers actually do that? or is it something we hear our dentists tell us/our kids but do we in reality stick our fingers in our kids mouths and floss their teeth?

I know I'm a "bad mommy" but I don't really do it for my kids. I'll brush their teeth for them when they're young, but flossing starts when they get big enough to do it themselves. I usually buy the floss sticks for my younger kids and then real floss for my bigger kids (although they still prefer those sticks, as do I).

I started when DS was 3. I usually do it three times a week.
