Dr. Lentfer<\/a> recommends using any brand toothpaste that your child enjoys using that has an abrasive in it to remove stain and sticky plaque and one that has fluoride. That being said, below are some recommended toothpastes if you have a child who is picky about flavor or if you choose fluoride free options\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Dr. Lentfer recommends using \u201cfloss picks\u201d until your child is old enough to use traditional floss. Floss picks are a great way for your child to learn how to floss and is an easy way for you to help them learn…and keeps your fingers a bit more safe from bites than traditional floss. Though the fun kid themed picks are fun, they can be expensive. Dr. Lentfer recommends going to a dollar store and getting the largest pack they have.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pediatricdentisteugene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Types-of-Mouth-Wash-150x150.jpg\")
Dr. Lentfer recommends the following mouthwashes. Mouthwash WILL NOT replace brushing and flossing, but is a great supplemental hygiene tool. Do NOT use a mouthwash until your child can properly spit the liquid out after using (to test your child\u2019s ability, find a disposable cup, fill it with the recommended amount, mark a line on the cup at the top of the liquid. Have your child swish then spit into the cup. If the liquid is back to the line, they are ready to use a mouthwash. If not, they are swallowing too much and it is not recommended to use a mouthwash)<\/p>\n\n
