Brushing 1year olds teeth

So my baby’s teeth came in March 18th and sometimes I let him like put a wet towel in his mouth so he can clean his teeth like that or I give him a little finger rubber toothbrush and let him play with it n put it in his mouth. But yesterday I decided to get him a toothpaste I got him this one but just noticed it says 2+ years can I still use it on my 1year old and just put a small little dot of it ? And how often do u all brush ur baby’s teeth ? How many times a day?

I found toothpaste that doesnt have floride in it so its ok if it gets swallowed

You’re not supposed to use fluoride before the age of 2 because of the fact that they don’t know to not swallow the toothpaste. Too much fluoride isn’t good for anyone.

the amount of toothpaste you use has a negligible amount of fluoride. You reply supposed to use a rice sized amount for babies and toddlers.

Yes, my pediatrician says it’s pointless if there isn’t fluoride.
