Can you brush your teeth while postpartum?

Patient's question:

I have been postpartum for 5 days now. Due to the cesarean section, my body has been weak these past few days, and I haven't brushed my teeth at all. Now, I feel really uncomfortable in my mouth, and there's a bad smell. I really want to brush my teeth, but the elders at home don't let me. They say that brushing teeth during the postpartum period is bad for your teeth. But I really feel awkward not brushing my teeth.
What kind of help do I need: Can I brush my teeth during the postpartum period?
