Brushing Teeth on Tisha B’Av
Question
May someone who is not fasting on Tisha B’Av brush their teeth?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Someone who is not fasting is permitted to brush their teeth.
[For even someone who is fasting, if his mouth is truly dirty, such as after vomiting, or if he is very sensitive and suffers greatly from the dirtiness, is permitted to brush his teeth; he should only be careful not to swallow anything].
