I have a question about using a miswak.....I know its sunnah and I accept that however....surely during the times of the Prophet SAW it was used to stop things like bad breath, gum disease, decay etc....all these things are nowadays kept away using a toothbrush and toothpaste, which were not available in the days of the Prophet....

I just got one about 2 weeks ago. Its not exactly like the Prophet suggested, Its too skinney and too short but it was the only one i could get around here. I love it, how great it feels to follow the sunnah of our Prophet.
maybe this is nothing new, but i saw so many brothers using siwak before doing their prayer when i was doing my umra. as a dentist, nothing please more than seeing that.
According to researchers, the people with the best teeth are not those who have the fanciest sonic toothbrushes - but those who use their toothbrushes regularly and after each snack and meal. In fact, ancient cultures and developing nations lacked the technology to create such machines for the teeth, yet there have always been reliable ways to clean them.
Muslims use what is called a miswak. A miswak, or siwak, is a small stick with which the teeth are rubbed and cleaned. The end is shaped into a brush through biting or chewing, which serve to separate the fibers and release the healing herbal powers of the twig. Some advantages of the miswak are that is does not require toothpaste, water or a special area to use it, and may be easily carried in one's purse or pocket. It is also disposable and biodegradable - therefore, it is the ultimate environmentally safe toothbrush. Some people even believe it works better than a toothbrush.
Nevertheless, a more compelling reason to use the miswak is that it is Sunnah to do so. Abu Hurairah reported that Prophet Mohammad (saws) said, "Were it not that I might overburden believers, I would have ordered them to use the miswak at every prayer" (Imam Muslim, Vol. 1).
to you your religion and to me my religion
may we all learn on our chosen paths, and in all things, blessed be

You can get a miswak tooth paste as well nowadays, I've tried it, and it is good, it has a miswak taste as well (don't eat it) but it's good.
I used to constantly have a miswaak nearby whilst I was in Yemen. However when I left Yemen I just couldn't find it anymore so I had to resort back to the toothbrush. *sigh* Miswaaks are just soooooo delicious and yummy to chew on, and the slender ones the size of your pinkie are the best. I love Miswaak!
indeed we've already had a thread or threads on miswaak, and yes it does state in hadith about the levels of miswaak. top of the list is from peelo tree, i think 2nd recommendation is from olive tree
ma'salama
I had a wrestle with an alligator, i had a tussle with a whale, I handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail! Only last week i murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick, im so mean i make medicine sick
