All I can say is following Sunnah is different from understanding Sunnah. Sorry to say but its conversations as the ones occuring in this thread that highlight the immaculate and high level stupidity that muslims are embroiled in. Nothing against Sunnah (how can I possibly be against it if I am a muslim), however following a sunnah literally isn’t always the most intelligent thing to do. Sometimes you need to understand whats behind the action in a sunnah. The Prophet SAW emphasis in this sunnah is not so we start using a twig to clean our teeth but its about personal hygiene and cleanliness. The Prophet SAW used what was best available in his time and we should preserve the sunnah that cleanliness and hygiene are of utmost importance in a muslims life and use the best choice from what is available in our time.

Exactly!!!

Our Prophet (PBUH) use to ride camel, so should we be doing that as well, He ( PBUH) use to go to war armed with swords and other weapons of that time, should we be doing that!!!

Imagine if we do that…

The Policy statement in this case is one have to keep himself clean, if i dont brush twice a day, i dont feel like talking to anyone, how can i talk to my Allah while having bad-breath.
