My kid is now 1.7 year old. Most of his teeth have appeared. Can you pls suggest a toothpaste that can be used? Just to bring in the brushing habit...or is it too early to use a toothpaste?

hi,

make sure the paste is 'safe to swallow'. use the recommended quantity. we use pigeon toothpaste that we bought from one of the baby specialty stores

Thanks for the responses. My only contention was that the toothpaste has to be safe to swallow. The kid doesn't yet know how to spit out while brushing.
