I was thinking toothbrush but I accept without any further clarification it
could be open to brush or hygegienist but context like me being in my
bathroom or being at the dentist's would differentiate...
I suppose toothpaste could be included but where a hygienist or tooth brush
could clean the teeth without anything else toothpaste would require
something like the toothbrush, finger or hygienist to get rid of any dirt.
Shame there isn't a word for paste (at least one I'm aware of)... I wonder
if "thick solution" {taS jeD} would adequately describe a paste. If so
maybe Ho'Du' taS jeD would pass as toothpaste
"In order to clean my teeth. I use tooth brush (cleaner) and paste."
Ho'Du'wIj vIlamHa'choHmoHmeH lamHa'choHmoHwI' Ho'Du' taS jeD je vIlo'
or if that works would thick solution on it's own be enough:
Ho'Du'wIj vIlamHa'choHmoHmeH lamHa'choHmoHwI' taS jeD je vIlo'
