can you brush your teeth on chabus there
are so many issues involving brushing
your teeth on chabus these include but
are not limited to MIM which is smearing
that comes from using the toothpaste but
there might also be an issue of mimah
smoothing which is removing the plaque
and then there's molid which is making
changes to a substance and then there's
ringing out which applies to a wet
toothbrush and then there's Kavala
wounding if brushing your teth makes
your gums bleed and then there's a
weekday activity and H preparing on
shabas for after chabus if you rinse
your toothbrush after use now In
fairness not all authorities agree that
all of these issues apply to
toothbrushing and some are lenient but
there are enough issues involved to make
brushing your teeth on shabis not
advisable it should also be noted that
there are shabus friendly toothbrushes
and tooth wash on the market as always
you should ask your own Rabbi for in
this matter
