When brushing ones teeth, is hot, cold, or warm water best used? Why, if that information is available as well. I have been using warm water.

In winter, like here now, warm water. It is freezing. I dont think the temperature matters.

It doesn't matter what temperature the water is so long as it is comfortable for you. If your teeth are sensitive to cold water then use warm water. I can't imagine why you would want to brush your teeth with hot water???

I use warm, because cold gives me an ice cream headache, and hot would be painful... I THINK you're suppose to do it with warm because it loosens up things and helps circulation more than cold water.

I always brush mine in warm water because it feels better to me. I don't know if it really matters?

Warm water. Cold won't kill the germs, and hot will hurt your gums!

does it matter? i think i've heard warm, but often that warm water isn't coming out of my tap at that hour of the day so i deal with cold. it's the toothpaste that cleans it anyway right? and i figure my toothpaste is strong enough. after all i sneeze or cough whenever i use it. haha. it has scope in it. yay! hehe.

i would say warn water.....but i always wash my mouth out in cold water...i think the important thing is that you are brushing your teeth and shows good hygiene... i do think this should be common knowledge but a lot is how you were taught to do as a child.. i have my grandkids and they do it different than i do.. so i think as long as you brush your teeth good, that is the important factor......
