Best OTC Choices in Children's Mouthwashes
Adult mouthwashes contain alcohol, which can create a flavor that’s too intense for your child's tastes and can be toxic when swallowed. Mouthwash for kids is free of alcohol and usually comes in more palatable flavors like orange and strawberry.
Here are Money’s picks for the best children’s mouthwashes, along with data on their active ingredients and general notes about their efficacy.
The selections were chosen by drugs.com, using a methodology that combines expert assessment with analysis of online reviews, ratings and other customer data.
