What can you do with... ?

Good morning.

I'd like to formulate a question that could have (1) 'Brush your teeth / them' for an answer.

I thought (2) 'What can you do with your teeth?' could be a good example.

Then I realized (3) that question could refer more to 'the use you can make of your teeth', that is 'to bite'.

Anyway, I'd like to be surer. Could (2) be acceptable to get (1) for an answer?

Is there a better question to get (1) for an answer?

Thank you.

"What can you do to your teeth?" seems more suitable, but with no more information it still might seem a puzzling question, and the answer "Brush them" might not be at all obvious. I think the question needs more of a hint; e.g. "What should you do to your teeth twice a day?"
