Calling all readers...
OK... so our family has some major dental issues. Em has had 2 crowns and 1 extraction and isn't even done first grade. She was born with minimal enamel on her teeth and it looks like will be visiting the dentist regularly for the rest of her life. And poor Jack had to have a cavity filled the other day in his front teeth- he was a super trooper and handled it great. Now, I know it's the dentist's job to encourage good oral hygiene but she always seems so surprised that we don't floss our kids daily. We brush the kids' teeth at least daily- maybe we don't do it long enough but definitely a daily tooth brushing family. Try to do twice a day. And now are trying to be a daily flossing family. Do you all (whoever you all might be) really floss your kids' teeth every day?

i have a hard enough time motivating to floss my own teeth. and i'm willing to bet at least $4 that my sister's kids' teeth have never been flossed.
have you considered investing in a product such as this?:

Tried them... I think they make it harder and am not a fan of the disposable, plastic-ness of them so I just do straight glide floss. I think Jim prefers to use them with the kids.
