I have 20 month old son.Should I start brushing his teeth?

I started brushing my children's teeth as soon as they got them. It helps them get used to it and is good to start developing brushing habits early. I didnt use toothpaste for awhile though because spitting it out is hard to explain to them at that age.

yes... I have brushed Alexas gums with a baby toothbrush since day one... They also have toddler tooth paste for you to use.

Thanks for the quick response.He showed interest but we didnt because we are afraid of what will happen to his teeth and gums. Now,I guess I'll let him try without toothpaste.
