teeth brushing

Morning dental scrubbing

Teeth brushing is the act of cleaning one's teeth with a brush, typically using toothpaste.

The compound emphasizes the activity itself rather than the implement: Good teeth brushing habits start in childhood.

In dental contexts, proper teeth brushing technique involves angling bristles toward the gumline.
