Is it advisable for kids to floss their teeth?

Doctor's Answers 1

100%. Please floss your teeth. Baby teeth have a lot of gaps and spaces. If there’s space that the brush can go through, they are not causes for concern. The back teeth are the ones that you should worry about, so you should not miss those areas. Flossing the teeth does not take too long and it is definitely a good habit to develop.

How can I know if my child has ADHD if he is constantly running around?

There are certain facts one needs to establish eg how old is your child ? Age appropriate behavior is something you need to be aware of - meaning at a different age we expect maturity to take place and hence this concern is best answered in discussion with a doctor who can then observe your child and interview more extensively to come to a conclusion .
