Edit Do I need to use mouthwash? 

<p><strong>Do I need to use mouthwash? </strong></p> <div>It’s not essential. If you’re brushing and using interdental brushes/flossing twice a day then a mouthwash is not essential but it can be a nice tool to use to help your mouth feel fresher. Listerine is a good option here. </div> <div> </div> <p><strong>When should my child first see a dentist? </strong></p> <div>Your child should see the dentist as soon as their teeth come through. There’s potential for tooth decay as soon as they erupt so getting them in to see a dentist as soon as possible is definitely a good idea. A big benefit of going to the dentist from a young age is that it’s great for acclimatising the child to the dentist as it can reduce nervousness and phobias later down the line. We can also guide you in creating healthy oral hygiene habits too. </div> <div> </div> <p><strong>What type of toothpaste should I use? </strong></p> <div>There’s an array of toothpaste available but they generally fall into three categories: whitening, sensitive and regular. Ensure it’s from a reputable brand and is fluoride-based. A note on sensitive toothpaste - they do work and are great for those who suffer from sensitivity. I often recommend Colgate Sensitive to patients for this. </div> <div> </div>
