뜻
To clean one's teeth with a toothbrush.
문화적 배경
Iranians are very conscious of dental aesthetics. Tehran is often called the 'nose job capital,' but dental veneers and bleaching are equally popular among the youth. The use of the 'Miswak' (the traditional twig) is still seen in some religious circles in Iran, though modern toothbrushes have largely replaced it. Having bad breath is considered very rude in Iranian social gatherings. Brushing before meeting friends or going to a party is a must. Iranian schools have 'Hygiene Day' where health workers visit to teach children the correct way to 'mesvāk zadan'.
