I can't think of a proper word to use here… for example, in a hypothetical schedule there might be this:
Shower – 9:30
Teeth brushing – 9:40
But teeth brushing seems very strange/unnatural. Is there a single-word for "brushing of the teeth", as shower is to "washing of the body"?

The Wikipedia article on teeth cleaning gives prophylaxis, odontexesis, and odontexis. However, this medical jargon seems more applicable to the professional cleaning done by a dental hygienist.
I do not know of a one-word noun for "brushing of teeth", but "tooth brushing" might be more natural than "teeth brushing" because noun adjuncts are more often singular than plural.
