Maybe you would like to go toothbrush shopping with her and let her pick out the design which she likes. Read her books about tooth brushing and its importance. Izzy's First Book can be purchased from Amazon and tells a story about a hedgehog's first tooth. http://www.amazon.com/Soft-Chomp-Izzys-First-Tooth/dp/B014E3WKGK Make it fun for her and brush your teeth together.
Agree with Roshni! Let your child make decisions, let her choose her toothbrush and toothpaste while you shop for it so she feels responsible for it. Or come up with songs to sing while she brushes her things. You can use nursery songs that she's familiar with and replace the words accordingly to make it fun :)
