As far as oral hygiene is concerned at that age you can use a soft baby brush and a pea sized amount toothpaste to clean his teeth twice a day. However mouth odour can also be there if he has a nose block and does mouth breathing or even due to stomach problems. Consult your paediatrician if you suspect these issues
