When can a child start to use flouride free toddler toothpaste?

Question

My son is 15 months old and when I brush his teeth I use the little finger thing and toddler toothpaste. All the infant stuff is triple as expensive and comes with those finger brushes and I have like 100 of those around. Is there a difference between flouride free infant toothpaste and flouride free toddler toothpaste?

Answer 1

Flouride free means flouride free, so it doesn't matter infant or toddler.  You can start using the toddler flouride free whenever you want, and using a toothbrush.  Start to get him to learn how to spit too, so you can move on up to the flouride toothpaste sooner, it's better for their teeth.  Once he learns how to spit and not swallow the toothpaste, the flouride is best.
