In a sentence

歯(は)をtooth磨(みが)こうlet's brush

Let's brush our teeth

How it works

を (object) marks 歯(は) (teeth) as the thing being acted on. The verb 磨こう(みがこう) (let's brush) is the volitional form of 磨く(みがく) (to brush) — the "let's…" / "I'll…" shape, casual and self-encouraging rather than a command.
