Question
My son, 10 years old, has a new dental retainer and says that even after cleaning it, it has an odour to it. Can the retainer be placed in a mouthwash and for how long?

Clean the retainer with soap and water then it should not have any odour. Still if your feel that it is not enough then soak in mouth wash for 5 minutes to kill the odour.
