[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do my kids just have the worse dental hygiene in the world or do I have a super aggressive hygienist? Every visit I get brought back for her to point out all of his inadequacies brushing/flossing. I’m not going to brush my 11 year old’s teeth for him. I find it had to believe most kids are regularly flossing. Heck, most adults aren’t. Does it get better if you leave pediatric dentistry and go to general? [/quote] Kids do floss. Mine always has, esp. after having to have some dental work done at a young age. We had lots of conversations about how she can avoid the shots, etc. by taking care of her teeth. I will also say, however, you have to find the right dentist. They vary wildly. We recently had her dentist of many years (pediatric) give us a list of things needing to be fixed. When that happens, I almost always get a second opinion and that has served me well. We did and it was not necessary at this time. [/quote]
