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.

rakshankmr: Satwatneyearthian you CAN write about it and prefer it but you can advertise
rakshankmr: I know! I watched all of his videos! He is by far the best astrounaut ever!
FlameFires: Totally agreed!
rakshankmr: I love when he talks to student from the ISS and answers their questions! P.S happy to know that you know about him....
FlameFires: :S
Echo: If it's for giving an idea to the asker, it is alright to post link to a video. But the whole answer shouldn't be just that! : )
