Maybe its the toothpaste? Have you tried going through the normal brushing process without the paste? Perhaps a different flavor or just put the paste on your finger and brush with you finger a bit to get her used to the paste?
I guess the trick is repeated exposure and reward. Try dry brushing for a few seconds each day and give her a treat when she's good through. Start off real short and work your way up to longer sessions until she's not phased by it.
Its similar to trimming nails. The more you play with their feet on a regular basis the less they mind getting their nails trimmed.
