I want to teach my kid how to floss. however im afrad that it'll cause for her teeth to have gaps in between them. is it safe?she has milk teeth.

Yes: Flossing will not cause any increase in spacing in "baby" teeth. Ideally there will be some spacing between the front teeth in children and can usually be cleaned with brushing. The back molars can be flossed gently. Aggressive flossing could be painful so be careful. As always let your dentist see your child to determine the best for your particular needs.

Flossing is safe: Flossing won't cause gaps, but young kids often lack dexterity to master flossing. Wrap the floss around your fingers so that you have a taut span of about an inch between your fingers so that you can control the floss and keep it from snapping into the gums. The floss should be adapted to the contour of the tooth and then slid up and down. Could be challenging. Diet/brushing is primary focus.

Flossing is importan: It is important to teach your children to floss. Their dexterity may take a while to develop, so practice with them. Children's flossers are readily available in stores, and will not harm their teeth. Spacing with baby teeth is usually ideal, so don't worry about doing any damage. When their teeth lack space the risk for decay increases and the importance of flossing goes up.
