Brushing your teeth - Toothpaste

Japanese: 歯磨き - はみがき

This refers to the cleaning action of the mouth and teeth with a toothbrush, but can also refer to toothpaste. Brushing teeth removes plaque and tartar that adheres to the surface of the teeth and massages the gums, which helps prevent and treat dental diseases. Dentifrice is made from abrasives, foaming agents, and other base materials to which flavorings have been added, and some also contain special ingredients such as antibacterial agents, deodorants, and fluoride, and has both physical and chemical cleaning effects. Types include powder toothpaste, semi-toothpaste, toothpaste, water toothpaste, and solid toothpaste.
