Hi Audrey, we used talcum powder sprinkled between the boards and it worked well for a while and as a temporary fix. But sometimes it takes more than that and this video will help you know what other steps you might need to take to get rid of the squeaks.
They make a specialty screw that breaks off even at the floor called Squeek No More.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iAseVZZKlY&t=164s there is also a video for carpeted floors, and stairs on YouTube.
Hello. We sucessfully fixed our annoying newly installed (2015) kitchen hardwood floor squeak using one screw from a kit like this. The kits are in the big box hardware stores.
The screw is placed in the support below and the screw breaks off. Wax crayon covered the repar. Problem successfully solved.
The following links reviews and Q&A should be helpful.
We filled the holes from the countersink screws with matching Minwax wax colored crayon pencil. It effectively covered the holes created by the screws —it may work for your dings too. They come in many colors— it perfectly disguised our repair hole defect.
We had an incident with a candle and it caused some burn marks in my floors... does anyone have any ideas on how to repair the burn marks? Please help!!

Go underneath and put a shim in the area that squeaks.
Baby powder from above, sprinkled in the area and swept into the cracks.
