Brushing Teeth on a Fast Day
Question
Is there any issue with brushing teeth with a dry brush on a fast day, without rinsing the mouth afterward? [I sometimes do this to remove dirt stuck to the teeth]
Answer
Shalom Rav and a good week
There is no issue with this, and it is permitted to do so on a fast day.
