Flossing teeth

My hubby just said he flossed little ones teeth. I panicked, as usual, at which point he gave detail and said it was cos he had a bit of mango in his tooth and the tooth brush wasn't getting it out, so it was just the one tooth. Our dentist hasn't mentioned flossing for him but made me think, should we be?. Anyone else flossing yet? Google says u can but thats Google.

It’s a struggle to brush my boys teeth so zero chance of them being flossed. I would assume it’s not partially necessary as their teeth are fairly spaced apart so the brush generally gets between them.

My boys teeth are quite close together so I floss them sometimes if I notice he still has stuff stuck between them after brushing. That's what our dentist advised but she said not to stress too much about it.

I asked my dentist last year, and she advised against it, explaining that their gums are very soft and prone to bleeding. However, that advice was given last year.

@Alexandra I wondered about bleeding too.

@Wendi yeah I'm going to ask at the next appointment. He still sucks his figures 😭 do his teeth are more spreadout.
