What’s that you say? Your family isn’t too into flossing these days? Don’t let yourself feel like you’re the only one with this dilemma.

Try New Kinds Together
Flossing may have become a problem in your household just because of something as simple as a problem with flavor or even texture. When you’re open to ensuring everyone enjoys the products they use and that they’re comfortable, it will make success as a family with dental hygiene much easier.
Check In On Everyone’s Habits
Ask your spouse and your children about why they’re not feeling too good about flossing these days during dental hygiene. You may find out that it’s painful, that it’s presenting some challenges, or that a family member just isn’t sure about how much floss to use. When you troubleshoot specifics rather than leaving it up to the general, “I don’t like flossing!” sentiment, you can often quickly get everyone on board.
