When we brush our teeth on Shabbos we not only kill germs which is pretty much against the 6th commandment but we also engage in four melachos: Sechitah, Chavalah, Memareach and Uvdin D'Chol.

Sechita – Because we squeeze liquid out of a solid.
Chavalah – Because if we don’t floss daily or have gum disease, then a toothbrush can cause our gums to bleed.
Memareach – Because spread cream onto an object used as an applicator to the body.
Uvdim D’Chol – Because we perform a weekday activity on Shabbos.

But this doesn’t mean that anybody should have bad breath on Shabbos! Come on! You owe it to the guy standing next to you in Shul.

You should use the:
Wow!!!

Yup folks, it’s the real deal, a true high-tech super Shabbos toothbrush:

• soft rubber bristles won't make gums bleed
• wide spacing between rubber bristles won't squeeze liquid
• to be used as special-for-Shabbos Toothbrushes

And when you use Shabbos Toothwash you can forget about the Memarech issue because it is a concentrated liquid and this prohibition does not apply!
