I must rave about the toothpaste that I use! It's called First Teeth and my son loves it. We've tried other brands, such as Ora Jel and Gerber, and he spits those out. We also use the Fush's kids toothbrush, which has natural bristels and a large handle. They cost about $1.29 at natural food stores like WholeFoods. I also got one free of Drugstore.com when I got a gift certificate. You can find the First Teeth at Babies R Us.
