Flossing can be a bit of a sore subject when it comes to
dental care. Not only can flossing cause temporarily sensitive gums if not done
regularly, but it can also lead to arguments between parents and their
children. For some reason, kids don’t want to floss. Unfortunately, enumerating
the benefits of flossing will probably do little to change your child’s mind.
Children seem to have the innate ability to overlook the fact that floss can
clean portions of their teeth where a toothbrush cannot. Luckily, your GrandPrairie dentist, Dr. Quinn Smith, is here to help with tips for teaching your child to floss.
