Racing to clean up Wausau… literally.

When the First Impressions team shows up for the Ghidorzi Companies Green & Clean event, things can get a little competitive — even if it’s over who gets to the trash first.

Today we are out helping keep our community looking its best. Because while we love keeping your kids’ smiles clean, we’re just as happy to roll up our sleeves and help clean up the places they grow, play, and live.

(Also, should 'Trash Bag Dash' be an Olympic sport?)

Are you wondering if your child should be using mouthwash? You’re not alone.

In our latest blog, we break down what mouthwash actually does (and what it doesn’t), when kids can safely start using it, and the different types available — including alcohol-free, fluoride, and plaque-disclosing rinses. We also walk through the pros and cons so you can make the best decision for your child’s routine.

The bottom line? Mouthwash can be a helpful add-on in certain situations, but it’s not a substitute for brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. Every child is different, and the right choice depends on their age, cavity risk, and ability to rinse safely.

If you’ve ever had questions about adding mouthwash to your child’s routine, this guide is for you. Read the full blog to feel confident about what’s best for your child’s smile.
