Around 18 months for our kids.

Started mine at 2

AAP recommends using a smear (or roughly the size of a grain of rice) of fluoride toddler toothpaste for children from tooth eruption through age 2, and families should increase this to a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for children ages 3-6.

There is baby toothpaste in supermarkets now. Have a look a grab an age appropriate one

There is a toothpaste available for babies under 12 months. I think it’s safe to swallow

I think whenever he knows how to spit and listen to directions . Colgate first toothpaste should have a guideline too

Use just a little bit of toothpaste as you will find that at 1 they haven’t quite mastered spitting it out.

yes your friend is right!

Just water is ok until the age of one. There’s lots of foods being eaten then. Just a tiny amount is needed though, don’t go overboard. That’s how I did it with my kids, hope this may help

I’d recommend when they are old enough to spit the toothpaste out,rather then swallowing it

From memory I think DD was about 14 months old.

there are special kids toothpastes but they should never swallow only spit so until you can get the spitting happening i wouldnt bother

The Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends using toothpaste from 18mths, preferably low-fluoride toothpaste.

maybe when they have 8 teeth in total? four each top n bottom

Pretty much from the time they get teeth, there are different types of toothpastes available for this

You can get a special toothpaste just for little ones at the supermarket. They are meant to have their own special one until they are about 6 I think. You only need a tiny little bit.

18 months plus for mines

I asked my dentist for my daughter – said not until they can spit the toothpaste out

Having been a dental nurse I wanted my kids to have perfect teeth & I was told by my boss as soon as the first tooth appears it is important to start good oral hygiene right from the start. The toothpaste isn’t necessary until they are old enough to spit it out. You can now get a teething toothbrush that bub can hold & chew on.

Once he starts to show an interest in the toothpaste then i would start. he will see you doing it and want to copy.
My eldest didnt get her first tooth until she was over a year old so she wouldnt have had toothpaste until she was at least 2
