A. Ideally toothbrush should be started as soon as the first tooth erupts in the oral cavity Being a child dentist, what i recommend is that for children less than 2 years old, a smear layer of toothpaste and for children 2-5 years old , a small pea sized toothpaste is recommended. Now talking about brands for children owing to fluoride concentration babies less than 2 year old need i would like to recommend cheerio tooth paste, kidodent, collage junior . its a myth that children less than 2 year old dont need fluoride in their toothpaste. A mild concentration of fluoride is required which is well given im these toothpastes.
