* '''[[Uvda DeChol]]''': Ketzot HaShulchan (v. 7 p. 99) writes that using a toothbrush is considered [[Uvda DeChol]]. Rav Hershel Schachter (quoted by Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz), however, holds that there is no issue of [[Uvda DeChol]].

* '''Chavalah''': Minchat Yitzchak 3:48 writes that since it is hard to be careful not to make oneself bleed, one should not brush so as not to violate Chavalah. Rav Ovadia 4:29 writes that this is an issue only for someone who rarely brushes and almost certainly will bleed; otherwise, it is considered a davar she’eino mitkavein and is permitted.</ref> | * '''Chavalah''': Minchat Yitzchak 3:48 writes that since it is hard to be careful not to make oneself bleed, one should not brush so as not to violate Chavalah.
