Hi Shikha, Flossing part of oral hygiene maintenance. There are certain inaccessible parts which is difficult to be cleaned by a toothbrush or fingure brush. so flossing helps to clean the area. I came across a blog over flossing on parentune that is very useful just read it: Hey! I find this parent blog really interesting. I suggest you have a look too: https://www.parentune.com/parent-blog/dental-flossing-in-children-the-benefits-of-starting-early/2909?ptref=sa0l0004684028t

I will tell you what i planned for my baby : first i will do that infornt of her and pretend as if its very intresting process. I will say " baby i will not allow you to do this" as childrens have tendency to do things that he or she has been asked not to do. And i know she would definitely like to try.

My baby is 3 yrs , i was not much aware about flossing with babies but after going through this blog i have planned to floss my baby's teeth regularly in order to avoid further teeth complications like cavity, root canel etc. Its always better to prevent things before occuring. As we all know precaution is better thn cure.
