Question

 

 After eating meat, can I use dental floss, and rinsing my mouth,  and eat milk with out waiting 6 hours .!

Answer

To rinse and brush your teeth after consuming meat before eating dairy, there are different opinions on the exact time frame required. According to the Shulchan Aruch, a six-hour waiting period is recommended between consuming meat and dairy. During this time, it is generally advised to abstain from brushing and rinsing the mouth.

Even though there may not be a concern of meat getting stuck between the teeth, the waiting period is still observed due to the lingering taste of meat in the mouth. Additionally, the sages did not differentiate between individuals or specific scenarios when it comes to the waiting period; therefore, their instructions are not subject to individual interpretations.

Indeed, according to the late Rabbi Ovadia Yosef’s ruling, it is possible to be lenient in certain situations and wait only five and a half hours between eating meat and dairy, instead of the traditional six-hour waiting period.
