GUM Junior Fluoride Mouthwash Strawberry Flavor (6+ Years), 300ml

GUM Junior is a fluoride mouthwash for children from six years old, in a strawberry flavour and free from alcohol. Six is the usual minimum age for mouthwash for a simple reason: younger children have not reliably learned to spit rather than swallow, and swallowing fluoride mouthwash regularly is not harmless.

Supervise your child while they use it, keep the bottle out of reach between uses, and treat it as an addition to brushing rather than a substitute for it.

Specs

• Volume: 300ml
• Age: 6 years and over

• Alcohol: Free

Benefits

• Alcohol free, which is essential in anything intended for children
• A flavour children will actually use, which is half the battle with dental routines
• Six and over, because younger children have not reliably learned to spit rather than swallow
• An addition to brushing, never a replacement for it
• Keep the bottle out of reach. A sweet-flavoured liquid is exactly what a younger child would drink

How to Use

• For children aged 6 and over, under adult supervision
• Measure the amount stated on the pack. Do not let a child pour it themselves
• Rinse for the stated time, then spit out completely
• Do not swallow, and do not rinse with water afterwards
• Use at a separate time from brushing rather than straight after
• Keep well out of reach of children. Seek medical advice if a large amount is swallowed
