Is cleaning your child's ears on your to-do list? You might be able to cross it off! ✅
There are a lot of myths about earwax, but we're here to set the record straight: Earwax is not the enemy!
It’s a completely normal and healthy substance made by the body to lubricate the ear canal. This built-in moisturizer is one of nature's best ways to decrease the chance of irritation and infection.
So, when should you worry?
In most cases, you don’t need to! If you notice what seems like an excessive amount of wax or your child complains of ear discomfort, please consult with us before trying to clean it at home. We can help with safe and gentle removal methods.
