besides that I wonder if people know that some companies like Colgate toothpaste is haram as it is based on animal oils rather than vegetable oils like SLever Brothers and Vicks' products
Toothpaste is in my opinion one of the biggest scams of the 20th century. It is the toothbrush that does the work and not the toothpaste, and the Miswak is the best tooth brush available.
Toothpast simply makes brushing your teeth taste good, the only possible benefit would be from flouridated tooth paste, if your drinking water does not contain flouride.
Study Shows Toothpaste Value WINTHROP, Me. -- Following a year-long computerized direct profit and profitability analysis of the HBC section at Hannaford Bros.' Shop 'N Save supermarkets, the chain had decided to revamp its shelf sets and increase its emphasis on the toothpaste category.

After the analysis showed toothpaste to be much more profitable than had been thought, the entire category was remerchandised using vertical-set displays to spur sales of the top-profit brands. Toothpaste had been displayed on a single shelf, often on the bottom level of the aisle.
In my opinion the best choice to keep fresh breath all day while fasting is to watch what you eat in the morning, than brush your teeth with a miswak and if you want to be safer, rinse your mother with a tablespoon of baking soda in a glass of warm water and eat a few sprigs of parsley with your breakfast. If you still have a problem, there is a possibility you have a stomach ailment that needs treatment.
If I attempt using wooden toothbrush (miswak) I do more damage than good as I am a bit shaky and not steady of hand.
But factory made plastic is so gentle that I cannot do any damage. Toothpaste that I use is medicated to heal sensitive gums
I have used the wooden version prior to 1977, occasionally, but not since.

I agreed with this earlier in the thread but must have lost it during on of my editing sprees

I can relate to both of those and there is justification in using medicated toothpaste for sensitive gums. That would be a tooth paste I would not consider a waste of money.
I have not tried a plastic miswak, but that sounds good, probably outlasts the wooden ones too.
Shukran brother, So how can one just use a brush and not paste?? humm...
anywho thanks
peeps use Miswak
It isnt saidy you cannot use tooth paste but you have to be very careful when using tooth paste as to not get toothpaste in your throat or it will ruin your fast. so when brushy brushy be careful! otherwise use miswak but I still brush with toothpaste and i have NO problems not swallowing water or toothpaste that stuff taste to gross anyway LOL. and gritty yuck.

In my usual clumsy way I have given the wrong impression
when I say plastic miswak I actually mean a normal toothbrush not any exact replica of the wooden one with bristles on the tip
lol...Malaysia has so many halal toothpaste. Everytime i go to the shop i don't know which to choose
Najwa contains no flouride, ingredients are calcium and oil from the Miswak plant only
and this is miswak...no chemical and additives but hard to get.

I didn't know some toothpastes had animal products in it. Ick! I usually use toothpastes I can find in natural food stores (like Tom's, Jason, Green Beaver) or Arm & Hammer. I can't use C=either Crest or Colgate (I can't recall which ones) because the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate tends to give me canker (sp?) sores. Ouch!
I'd love to try miswak just for the fun of it! Never actually seen one with my own eyes though.

SLS is very dangerous and most toothpaste has it as well as other products. It causes lot of health problems and thus best to be avoided. Then again, lot of ingredients used in the US are BANNED and considered Illegal to use in Europe cuz of their dangers to human health.
As for Miswak, peelu (toothpaste) is i think made of that. Try a miswak stick also, it's better than the fake bristles of commercial toothbrushes.
I brush before I eat my meal and again right before I make my niyyat to start fasting, afterwards I just stay awake and preoccupy my time with something.
Pray:
Our Lord! we have heard the call of one calling (Us) to Faith, 'Believe ye in the Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, blot out from us our iniquities, and take to Thyself our souls in the company of the righteous.
