My son is three and we have been brushing them since they first came in. At first taking a cloth and just gently wiping them. Then later a tooth brush. For as long as he has had been able to hold a toothbrush he has brushed his teeth. I come along after him and brush again to make sure we get what we need to. His toothbrush sings and he loves that. We also brush our teeth together as a family and he does his best to copy how we brush ours. Twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. I also send a toothbrush to school and have him brush right after lunch. He does a good job brushing but even at three I need to assist in brushing to reduce his chances of cavities. Better to assist him after than to have to hold him down while they drill to fill a cavity. OUCH.
