If your baby or toddler has had bad breath lately, not to worry. There are plenty of things you can do in order to reduce the risk of bad breath for your little one, and there are ways to tell if your baby’s bad breath is an indication of a more serious condition.

More than likely, your baby or toddler sleeps with his or her mouth open, and this dries the mouth out during the night, which can cause ‘morning breath’. You should make sure that your child is brushing with a good kid-friendly toothpaste, and is rinsing with an effective mouthwash in order to reduce the risk of halitosis. You should also try to stop your baby or toddler from thumb sucking, since this can reduce the saliva production in the mouth, and can alter the formation of tooth growth. A teething ring or pacifier can be a good temporary alternative to thumb sucking, and will help your child’s teeth to grow in properly.
