Dr i want to ask about bad breathe, my son is of 4 years i daily brush his teeth in night also since he was 2and half, but still he is having a problem of bad breathe what to do?

Dr. Gupta I want to know my child Teeth ,who is Four years are becoming black spoted day by day?But i cant understand why it is so ,Because he always wash his teeth after taking any kind of food. Is their any defficiency in his physical system. Your blog is really good and Useful. thank YOU.

Thank you Dr. Gupta for such an informative and resourceful blog. I would however like to know, wouldn't inserting anything between the teeth, even if its a floss, broaden the space between the teeth? And if you could kindly suggest where do we get water floss from?? It is not as easily available as the floss with the handle.

Thank you so much Dr. Kunal. I planned the same i will floss infront of her and will not allow her to do . As i know if she wouldnot be allowed to do then she will definitely be curious to try. As children mostly do the things that she has been asked to avoid. Thanks agsin for your valuable suggestion.

@puloma pandey make it as a playful activity . you can floss for her at any time during the day and anywhere in the house. you can floss in front of her and introduce this as a game.

@swati gupta flossing can be started even now and should be practised by all age groups

@sharda first of all educate him that brushing and flossing are an integral part of oral hygiene maintenance. and to begin with encourage him to floss at least few times in a week at least if he is not brushing regularly,

@nishtha dutt any habit is not easy to break. the first step is proper education and awareness. Let her know the pros and cons of excessive use of chewing gums . Then just positively reinforce her to gradually reduce the number of chewing gums which she consumes on a daily basis. reward her positive behaviour. flossing is important for all age groups

@vicas rajvanshi if you floss too hard then it may bleed or it may bleed if there is mild inflammation of gums due to opaque deposit. just follow the proper technique of sliding floss between two teeth

@pehu flossing should not be done with any thread like thing. you must use dental floss which is available in the market

@Anisha flossing will help in removing plaque from almost 40% of teeth surfaces. if you floss regularly you may be able to avoid cavities which form between two teeth

@Nikki flossing should be done for all age groups as it will clean the side surfaces of the teeth

@sandeep gupta flossing should ideally be done after toothbrushing.

@shalu gupta water flosser can be ordered online or bought from certain pharmacies. search for Water Pik online
