Brushing Teeth on a Fast Day
Question
I saw that you wrote that it is forbidden to brush teeth on a fast day. Is it permissible to brush teeth with a dry brush, without rinsing the mouth afterward, just to remove the dirt stuck to the teeth?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permissible to brush teeth on a fast day in this manner.
