Many parent do encourage their children to practice proper dental care habits at home. But having the right dental health care products for your children to use is important as well. For children who do not brush their teeth on their own yet, you may want to avoid toothpaste with fluoride until they know not to swallow. However for older children, the Center for Disease Control recommends that parents get their children toothpaste that contains fluoride in order to protect their teeth.

Also with regards to using mouthwash parents may want to avoid using mouthwash that contain alcohol. There are many kid friendly mouthwashes that do not contain alcohol just read the label to make sure. Flossing is an important part of dental care, however your child needs to know how to floss correctly. Make sure you or your dentist correctly shows your child how to floss. A parent should floss their child teeth until they are able to do so on their own.
