Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”

It’s not scriptural at all but comes from the heretic, John Calvin, who’s extremism caused him to believe in such false notions.  Calvinism is the precursor to the excesses of capitalism (time is money), and the modern “rewarder God” theory which says that you’ll be blessed economically if God loves you

This must be the rule of double effect  of white teeth in action

:laugh1:  Perhaps we can find the exact citation for this in the Summa.

But your teeth can be whitened accidentally/secondarily while your primary motive is medical (to prevent decay).

Oh, for crying out loud, there's nothing sinful about wanting to look good or decent, and to not have yellow/brown teeth.  Wanting to look good is typically the primary motivation for grooming.  I use mouthwash and deodorant so that I don't smell bad.  And there's nothing wrong with not wanting to smell bad or not wanting to look bad.  Sure, certain saints did practice heroic virtue in this regard, but there's no SIN in not practicing heroic virtue (in most ordinary circuмstances).
