Should My Child Use Mouthwash?

Posted by sdaugherty on Friday Oct 21, 2011 Under General Tips

Most dentists would not recommend any child under the age of  6 to use mouthwash, and children that are under the age of twelve should only use mouthwash under adult supervision. The reason for this is the risk of the child swallowing the mouthwash. This can be dangerous if it is swallowed in large amount and can lead to something called fluorosis, a condition where long-lasting spots or streaks appear on the teeth.

There is a set of molars that will grow before your child loses any teeth. They are the first adult teeth that your child will have. They should come in between the ages of six and seven and will grow behind the baby teeth, in the back of the mouth.
