    My advice is don't do it. 2 years is too young for flossing. Teach him when he is a little older and able to brush for himself. Prolly around 6 years old.

    childrens teeth are a different shape to an adults, your really dont need to floss a child first set of teeth. Once the adult teeth start to come in, start flossing then.
