Q » At what age should a child start flossing?
26 Oct, 2025
A » Children should start flossing when two of their teeth begin to touch, usually around ages 2 to 6. Initially, parents should assist with flossing to ensure proper technique and safety. As children develop better dexterity, they can gradually take over the task. Establishing a flossing routine early helps maintain good oral hygiene and prevents gum disease and cavities as they grow.
