About Teach Kids to Floss

These guides are written for parents, grandparents and carers who want to help children clean between their teeth more effectively, and for any adult who wants a clearer picture of how to build the habit.

Each guide takes one practical question, such as when to start, which tools to choose, or how to lead the routine, and gives checklists, cautions and questions you can take to a dentist.

The aim is simply to help readers make sense of everyday oral health topics in plain language. The guides are general information and are not a substitute for the advice of your own dental team.
