# It’s improper to wash out one’s mouth on a communal fast day. <Ref>S”A 567:3 </ref> # Similarly, it’s improper to brush one’s teeth on a communal fast day unless one is in pain (and if one does so, one should make sure not to have more than a reviyit in one’s mouth at one time and to be careful not to swallow any water). <Ref> Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 534), Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 4:109, quoted in Piskei Teshuvot 567:1 </ref>

# On fast days besides for Tisha BeAv and Yom Kippur, if it will be difficult for one not to brush, one is allowed to brush one's teeth as long as one doesn't put a [[Reviyit]] of water in one's mouth at a time and ensures that one doesn't swallow any water.<Ref> Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 534) writes that for all fast days besides Tisha BeAv one if it will be difficult for one not to brush one is allowed to brush one's teeth as long as one doesn't put a [[Reviyit]] of water in one's mouth at a time and ensures that one doesn't swallow any water. Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 4:109 (quoted in Piskei Teshuvot 567:1) agrees. See [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/Display.asp?ClipDate=3/8/2009 Rabbi Mansour on DailyHalacha.com] who writes that one may brush one's teeth with less than 3 oz of water but one should keep his head bent downward and spit the water out immediately, without gargling, to avoid swallowing any water. </ref>
# One may swallow salvia that accumulates in one’s mouth. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 567:13 </ref> Some say that if it’s easy one should be strict and spit it out. <Ref> Chaye Adam 132:22, Mateh Efraim 612:7, Moadim UZmanim 1:59 </ref> While others say that the minhag is to be lenient altogether. <Ref> Piskei Teshuvot 567:2, Bet Meir, Ashel Avraham, Aruch HaShulchan 567:4 </ref>
