Xylitol toothpaste around 9 months and now at 13 months we do flouride once a day (a bit early but the dentist recommended it since our water isn't flouridated).

Right when we started brushing her teeth, it was apple sauce flavour and she LOVES brushing her teeth. We've gotten a few different flavours since, right now it's a tutti-frutti type deal. All of them are fluoride free

@locavore_mama: Xylitol has shown to prevent against some of the most common cavity causing bacteria. And LO likes the taste of her toothpaste.

We've been brushing LO's teeth since he was six months old with a finger brush. After he got a bunch of teeth, we brush them with infant toothpaste and his own toothbrush. It's fluoride free and tastes yummy to him.

We started using fluoride-free toothpaste at 12-13 months. He loves the taste AND brushing his teeth. I thought toothpaste would be a good way to introduce new flavours and I bought a cilantro mint toothpaste. It was disgusting and he hated it!

Floride-free about a year. She begs me to put more on her toothbrush every night

Fluoride-free starting around a year. I let him spend a few minutes "brushing" his own teeth (really just chewing on the brush and sometimes moving it around) before I go in and brush them. He enjoys it a lot more since we added the toothpaste!

@Smurfette: around 12 months - You may want to try toothpaste- it might make it more enjoyable for her since there is a flavor present
