RINSING At the end of every meal, ensure that no food is left in your child's mouth. You can teach him to clean his mouth by: a) sipping water b) gargling c) and then spitting out the water. However, if he is unable to do this, ensure that he drinks a glass of water after every meal. This will help to clean the inside of his mouth. 18
Alternatively, allow him to sip water and then tip his head forward. In this way, most of the water will come out. This will help to clean the inside of his mouth. 19
