This is a really good question. In space, as there is no gravity, the astronauts squirt some water from a bag ( small sqeezable containers) onto the toothbrush directly(the water actually floats around in spherical blobs). They then put some toothpaste on it and brush as usual. Here comes the gross part, they then swallow the stuff as they can't dispose it in any other proper way. However, this does not do much harm and is just the way of the astronauts. There are YouTube videos about this too.
