It is perfectly fine to use "and" as well as "but" to start sentences, as long as it is used correctly.
It is a common superstition that you cannot start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction, which is false. I remember my teachers saying this as well.
My teachers are **** then. I have been suspecting this since I startes middle school (8th grade). Thanks for confirming this.
