This is a bit strange to ask, but I'm curious. When you brush your teeth, do you use cold or warm water?

I've always used cold and never even thought of using warm - mostly because it feels kinda icky to mix toothpaste with warm water. Maybe I'm just totally weird, though. :unsure:
 
I use cold to get my toothbrush wet and lukewarm to rinse. Cold water burns my mouth after brushing.
 
I use HOT water.... I have really sensative teeth to cold, don't even want to *think* about brushing with cold! Plus I like the way the hot water softens the bristles :)!
 
I've always used cold. I can't stand lukewarm water in my mouth. Once I had been washing my face or hands or something and then went to brush my teeth and forgot to let the water run cold and when I went to rinse with the lukewarm water in the cup I almost gagged and choked. I immediately dumped out the warm water and filled the cup with cold so I could rinse.
 
I use warm water. I have a strict dental regime that I have to follow, and that's what my dentist recommended.
 
lukewarm for me but for a good part of the year the water does not really run cold here. Its just barely cool. Sometimes will even run warm out of the cold side LOL
 
i think i just use which ever i happen to turn on.

I started brushing my teeth in the shower when I was pregnant with DD1...now I just do it out of habit. So, I use warm.
 
I use as cold as I can stand ... or sometimes lukewarm if I'm having sensitive teeth at the moment. I think it leaves my mouth feeling cooler and cleaner when I use cool water. If it is warm, I almost feel like I didn't brush my teeth at all, kwim? Well, those who prefer warm won't relate, but maybe some others will. lol.

Okay, I never even thought about people using warm or hot water!!! I definitely use cold. If I thought about using warm (which I haven't and probably won't) I would probably rule it out by the fact that it takes 100 years for our water to get warm.
 
I think if you ever drained a hot water tank, you might think twice about using anything but cold. ;) :p
