You can inculcate the habit of brushing by using a brush daily and keeping her while you brush. No need to use paste if she swallows it. Or you can use kids toothpaste if it is safe if swallowed too. Slowly she LL develop the habit. You can use kids toothpaste brush with soft bristles. Make sure that you don't give sweets or bottle feed before sleep to prevent decay..
