This is good news. And the two of you are beginning to talk a bit, which is even better. Now that she's suggested you do something else (brushing teeth) to help make yourself more appealing to her...you might ask her, in a non-threatening manner, "ok...I've addressed my skin issue, now you've let me know if I'd brush my teeth more frequently you'd appreciate it....is there anything else that you've noticed that perhaps I could do more often, or don't seem to attend to as much as I used to so I can work on it? I promise I won't be offended, I just want to know so I can work on these things."
You're doing good! And I'm glad she's taking the initiative and contacting more psych's...rather than waiting, this is a good thing too. See, progress is happening, it may be little things....but it's progress nonetheless.
Now, for a forwarning....don't be surprised if she does this for awhile and then suddenly reverts back to her previous behavior. She may not revert, but it's VERY common that this does happen...in fact it's rare if it doesn't. If she reverts back don't wait to see if she comes back around on her own, talk to her about it.
I'm really happy you're seeing some little signs of her trying!
