  Try a having tooth brush each -you have a go and she has a go.....may be a visit to the library/book shop to find a book about teeth or going to the dentist etc......
  Try singing a song....like- Brush your teeth each morning, brush your teeth each night...thats the way to keep them strong and sparkly white!!!!!!
  I dont know how much she will understand but keep talking to her about how important it is that we brush our teeth twice a day may be you could brush yours at the same time as her so she see you do it too, or even let her brush you teeth if she lets you brush hers.....hope this might help??? Goo luck Shay

  Thank you both for your replies!
  I tried with what Shay said about letting her brush my teeth and apart from her nearly choking me a couple of times with my toothbrush she was alot more involved!

  my 17 month old started refusing to let me brush his teeth, it really was becoming a battle, i bought him a childs electric toothbrush and he now loves brushing his teeth! Hope this helps.
