one of the more bizarre things about the books, imho.  NEVER a 
mention of a shower after Quidditch practice or brushing teeth before 
bed or a girl brushing out her freshly-shampooed hair?  I don't get 
it.  Kinda makes my skin (& teeth) crawl at times.

Siriusly Snapey Susan again:

:-)  Yep, I've thought about that, too--really!  But then I keep 
thinking about all those witches & wizards who're described as having 
yellow teeth or missing teeth....  If scourgify or a like spell 
worked so that no one in the WW really needed toothbrush/toothpaste, 
why would there be ANY witches or wizards w/o nice, clean, white 
teeth??

Okay, I know this is not a big deal, and while I am curious about it, 
I'm not *really* fretting over it...and I'm writing w/ my tongue 
edging out towards my cheek.
