hello and welcome to hcm forum,
i would like to inform you that a child as young as 2.5 years should not be asked to use listerine or any such oral hygiene products due to the risk of getting ingested, which can lead to serious medical complications.
therefore, stop using listerine, brushing teeth twice daily is more than enough for a child.
you can brush your child's teeth with a soft bristle brush, do not use tooth paste more than 2 times in a day and the amount of paste should be pea size.
or rinse mouth with plain water.
if the problem still persists then kindly visit your dentist .
i wish you good health.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

As you described,your baby is at the age of 2.5 years now,usually in this age foul odour of mouth does not occur.

Please do visit a pedodontist and get clinical evaluation done.


Sinusitis or ear ,throat infection can also cause bad odour.

If symptoms persists,please do visit an ENT specialist too.

Take care.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

I would suggest you to take the child to the Child Specialist and get the complete physical evaluation done.
Develop your child a habit of brushing the tooth twice daily with a soft bristle toothbrush.
Maintain a good oral hygiene of your child.

Hope this helps out.

Regards..

hi..
welcome to HCM forum..
please dont use listerine mouth wash... i would suggest you to not to use any kind of mouth wash...

bad breath can be due to oral, ENT or medical problems...
visit your dentist for complete oral examination... sometime, grossly carious tooth is the source of foul smell...

brushing twice daily with pea sized tooth paste is enough... make sure to brush her teeth AFTER MEALS instead of before meals... make her rinse after every meal... also try to clean her tongue gently by using clean cotton cloth wrapped on your finger... tongue cleaners are advisable at this age...

if still persists, consult general physician to rule out any metabolic disease... also consult ENT specialist also...

hope it will help you..
take care...
