I'd advise against it - toothpaste dries the skin and the burn, which can split the skin (depending on the severity of the burn). It can be used for cooling the burn but I wouldn't leave it on for long.
If you're looking for a quick home cure I'd go with lemon juice (unless you have any aloe vera gel or lavender oil), then bandage it if it's severe enough.
