Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do recommend brushing your cat's teeth on a semi-weekly basis to help maintain healthy teeth and gums, and it's never too early to start on good habits! The most important thing to do is use a pet toothpaste, as their fluoride requirements are different than ours. I would choose a flavor that she likes. Good luck!
