- Although there is no age restriction concerning the use of mouthwash, children should only use mouthwash after they have learned to rinse their mouth thoroughly.
- It is recommended that children be allowed to use mouthwash after you have used water to confirm that they are capable of rinsing their mouth without swallowing the water.
