A. you can use any one of them according to your comfort because you have to also see the biting of the child. before 3 years of age you should go for fluoride free kids toothpaste (any good brand) in rice grain size amount along with small head soft bristles toothbrush (any good brand) twice daily.. above 3 years of age use fluoridated kids toothpaste of any good brand.
