Personal hygiene routine.
خلفية ثقافية
Lithuanians are very proud of their dental health and modern clinics. It is common to see 'Burnos higiena' (Oral hygiene) signs everywhere in cities. Traditional folk medicine suggested rinsing the mouth with oak bark decoction after 'valyti dantis' to strengthen the gums. Electric toothbrushes (elektriniai šepetėliai) have become a status symbol and a common gift among young professionals. There are often 'Dantukų dienos' (Tooth days) where dentists visit schools to teach children 'kaip taisyklingai valyti dantis'.
Use the reflexive
To sound more like a native, say 'išsivaliau dantis' instead of 'valiau dantis' when you finish the task.
Avoid 'Plauti'
Native speakers will understand you if you say 'plauti dantis', but it will sound very foreign and slightly funny.
