brushing teeth

Morning bathroom ritual

Brushing teeth is the routine act of cleaning one's teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

It's a basic hygiene practice, typically done morning and night.

The phrase functions as a stock example of everyday habits: I barely have time for brushing teeth, let alone breakfast.

Dentists recommend brushing teeth for two minutes twice daily.
