What I want to say today is whether children can use mouthwash.
The answer is, of course, children can use mouthwash.
But not all mouthwashes are suitable for children.
Do not use fluoride mouthwash.
Because most mouthwashes have anti-caries function, this mouthwash contains fluoride. Because the child's teeth are still developing, fluoride will damage the enamel on the tooth surface, resulting in incomplete enamel mineralization, which will eventually lead to dental fluorosis, making the whole tooth yellow and difficult to wash off. Furthermore, children's swallowing function is not perfect, and swallowing too much fluoride mouthwash may also cause acute poisoning. Therefore, parents should try not to give it to their children, or use fluoride mouthwash as little as possible.
Don't use irritating mouthwash.
Children's oral immune system is weaker than that of adults. If adults think they will have irritating mouthwash, don't give it to children, otherwise it may not only cause oral flora imbalance, but also lead to a series of oral diseases.
Children should use special mouthwash for children.
Children's special mouthwash contains no fluoride, is made of herbs, is mild and non-irritating, and has no side effects on children's teeth and mouth. Can be used for a long time, it is recommended to choose domestic mouthwash.
At present, domestic mouthwash has been constantly innovating and is at the forefront of research and development. For example, 6e herbal medicine, which has just been listed, divides the use of mouthwash for young children into three periods: one period is 2 to 6 years old, mainly to prevent younger children from developing dental caries and black teeth; 6-9 years old is divided into two stages, mainly to relieve the discomfort when changing teeth and prevent the occurrence of dental caries; 9 to 16 years old, set to three stages, mainly for children's daily use during their study.
This kind of segmentation method similar to milk powder is scientific, which can let children at different growth stages have their own unique mouthwash and help children have a pair of beautiful teeth.
Children eat more times every day, and the residue will stay in their mouths for a long time. Using proper mouthwash on time every day can clean oral residue and tiny dirt in teeth, form a good habit of cleaning oral cavity, and effectively prevent dental caries and oral diseases. If properly trained, children can use mouthwash from the age of two. It is recommended to use warm water first during training.
