For those living in Singapore, you can buy it at Arab Street, just beside the Sultan Mosque. There are different types. There are the big, thick ones and there are the small and slim ones... which I just found out yesterday.
The price ranges from $1 to $3.
The one which I bought cost $4 per stick...:angryred: .. I bought it from another shop...

So if you use a miswak, do u still need to brush using (toothpaste and toothbrush.)...??

There's one at Joo Chiat.. thats the shop that cost $4 per stick!!!
I'm not sure if there's any other places.
I don't think there's a need to use toothpaste.. think about the days of our Prophet.. I don't think they have toothpaste and toothbrush.
But if you get uncomfortable, maybe you can use both; miswak & toothpaste..
For more information about the goodness of Miswak, you can get it here..: http://www.miraclebrush.com/
As for the way to use it... you have to peel the outerpart, not all of it but just the tip. Then you see the brush-like.. Pretty amazing.. I remember when I was a kid, I just use the whole stick and brush it to my teeth without peeling it, LOL..

If we brush a lot of times , does it spoil the gums??
What is the number of times to use it daily?? 7? 5 fard prayers, morning n night?
Subhanallah I purchased a miswak once in one of the local stores and subhanallah it stunk I felt like vomiting not to mention the thing was brand new but it was so sticky and smelly and everything that associates with bad smell subhanallah I wanted to return to the store but I didnt know how to lol… never will I be buying any miswak from any store any time soon. we have this nice tree in my house and we use it as a miswak it’s really nice and it has nice aroma…before I use to hack every tree I come across to use it as miswak but stopped when my mother told me some trees are poisonous.

miswak ada dalam toothpaste sekarang ni,kayu sugi tu terkandung dlm,tak ingat plak apa nama jenama tu.
you can use it 5 times a day before every salah there is ahadith that the Prophet said, “If it had not been a great burden on my Ummah, I would have ordered them to use miswak at every wudu”
or you can use after every meal or during at night or in the morning...it doesnt harm the gum infact there was ahadith that was narrated from Umar [i think] the prophet [saw] said:'Make a regular practice of the Miswaak, for verily, it is healthy for the mouth and it is a Pleasure for the Creator (i.e. Allah is pleased with the Muslim who uses the Miswaak)'."(BUKHARI)
It's totally up to you brother no harm at all..
