I usually lighty cover the brush, do one side and then reapply to brush and do the other side. You think that'd be too much twice a day for a 5 lb Yorkie?
As long as she doesn't have any GI upset, it's fine.
Another option if you are really nervous is to just do it with water for the second brushing. Probably not as effective, but maybe better than nothing. Toothpaste should not hurt though.

BTW, the College of Vet Med at Michigan State says it's best to do it 2x daily...
