What 🪥 means from a girl or a guy

Who sent the toothbrush and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.

From a girl
When a girl sends you a 🪥, she could mean she wants you to brush her teeth – playfully, of course! Or, she might be teasing you about your oral hygiene. It’s often a lighthearted joke, not a serious request.
From a guy
A guy sending you a 🪥 emoji is usually just referencing toothbrushes or dental care. It can be a funny comment about teeth, or a simple way to acknowledge a conversation about oral hygiene. It’s rarely a romantic gesture.
How to reply
If someone sends you a 🪥, you could reply with: “Let's brush those worries away 🪥😊”, “You’re always so clean 🪥👍”, “Need a dentist appointment 🪥😬”, or "Time for a teeth check 🪥🧐".

What 🪥 means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

One code point, several readings — where the toothbrush lands changes how it is taken.

TikTok & Instagram
Generally, the 🪥 emoji just means a toothbrush. People use it when they're discussing oral hygiene or simply want to represent a toothbrush. In comments and captions it is read the same way — the tone comes from what it sits next to.
WhatsApp
WhatsApp draws 🪥 with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides. A message with only 🪥 in it is shown enlarged.
Discord & Slack
Both accept the shortcode :toothbrush:. Discord renders Twemoji, so 🪥 looks different there than on your phone.
Outlook & email
Outlook has no emoji picker on desktop — press Win + . or Control + Command + Space inside the message body, or paste 🪥 from the copy button above.
