brush your teeth
Morning bathroom ritual
To brush your teeth is to clean them with a toothbrush and toothpaste, scrubbing the bristles across teeth and gums to remove food particles and plaque.
The phrase is so standard that alternatives sound odd—you don't "clean your teeth" in American English, though the British do.
