When to start using toothpaste.

[grass is always greener]

My Ds2 is 10mths old and has 8 teeth. I am wondering when do i start adding toothpaste to his toothbrushing routine?

From memory I read on the back of DD toothbrush packet was if your have fluoride in the water don't need toothpaste right away.

I am pretty sure our water doesnt have flouride in it.
I went to the health food store to see what they had in stock for under 12 mths and weleda have a children toothpaste. I am thinking of using this.

Has anyone used this?

I have been using the milk teeth toothpaste on ds since he was around ten months. It is made especially for babies and it tastes kind of sweet rather than minty.

the government childrens health site has info on this:

you should delay using flouride toothpaste till 2 years or the flouride could damage adult teeth...
