13 month old suddenly refusing to clean teeth

She's always enjoyed tooth-cleaning (she has 13 already!) and was happy with a mixture of 'cleaning' them herself and me having a quick brush around in the bath.

We went to the dentist and he recommended a new toothpaste etc. and also that I always brush her teeth (i.e. she not be allowed to do her own).

Since then she's been more and more unwilling to brush and now won't do it herself or let me. I know she can't brush her teeth properly but to be honest fiddling around with the toothbrush for five mins got them more brushed than I could with her wriggling/only opening for a second etc.

Does anyone have any tips?
