Question

Hello, I would like to know if there is an issue with going to a dentist appointment on the Fast of Esther. It seems that one would need to rinse the mouth once or more. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello, 

There is no issue with this. 

When the mouth is truly dirty, such as after a treatment, it is permissible to rinse without swallowing.
