You can. If and is at the beginning of a sentence, it is used to separate what could be one sentence more distinctly. And, it can be done like this. See how i could have attached that to the sentence that i started with if? I wanted a clear division of ideas. That is why i put a period there instead of just doing the comma, conjunction bit. If you start a sentence with a conjunction, you need to put a comma directly after, i believe those are the only grammar rules for it.
Teachers recommend you do not start sentences with and, or any conjunction for the matter, but it is just a suggestion. You will find many authors use it, and even moreso it does not violate any grammar rule.
