Do you allow your toddlers to use mouthwash? Although mouthwash helps to kill oral bacteria and prevents bad odour, it is not advisable for children. Here is why.
Main takeaways:
– Children under six years should not use mouthwash as they can confuse the solution for a drink and swallow it.
– Fluoride in mouthwash can cause dental fluorosis (white lines on teeth).
– Once your child is over age 6, teach them how to use mouthwash and insist on rinsing.
– Ensure that children use mouthwash when an adult is present.
Consult your dentist to find out the best mouthwash for your child.
