Sadly the floss must clear out the contact point between the teeth. In some people that point is so tight that only floss will do it. It may be that that space is not so tight and a water pic may help but its a coin toss on that. If sugar content is low then a once a week floss, if its thorough, should be enough.

I have tried to floss my 6 year olds teeth and get her to floss buying all the different kinds of flossers and floss and I cannot get her to do it without strapping her down holding her mouth open and traumatizing her for life... (which of course I am not going to do) I bought a water pick and what I have been doing is using the water pick on her while she is in the bath and she actually like it !! Do you think this is enough or do I need to keep trying with flossing ? Crys7683https://www.blogger.com/profile/09228895076751530846noreply@blogger.com
