What?

I brush my teeth with toothpaste.

 

[Fisticuffs]

Ask any dentist and they will tell you to pre-rinse your toothbrush with hot water to soften the bristles. The softer your toothbrush bristles are the better it is for your gums and it makes it easier for the bristles to clean in between your teeth. So all you cold lovers can suck it. Hot is better because the experts say so.

DEBATE F'ING OVER.

Brush your teeth in the shower man. Liberating.

 

[whitehawk]

Room tempurate/warm for me.

 

[Apath]

I use cold water because it's more refreshing and goes better with the minty taste of the toothpaste. Hot water does make more sense though considering it kills moar germs.

I rinse off my toothbrush and continue brushing until I feel there is no more toothpaste left in my mouth, which is too hard to do with a shower head. I still do it though if I'm in a hurry.

 

[agrajag]

please stop spreading the myth about germ killing. No one's water comes out of their faucet at boiling temperature.

 

[Chris Murphy]

Water from the hot/warm tap is usually from a tank that stores water (maybe in your loft). The water is not meant for drinking and should really not be used to brush your teeth. Cold water comes straight from the pipes to your home and is filtered and clean. Do not brush your teeth with water from the hot/warm tap.

 

[big ander]

Ugh cold for sure. Brushing with hot is awful.

I agree with this.

On an unrelated note, you're not sp0rsk are you? Where's the 0? PEACE.

 

[DR2K]

Warm water.

Correct.

 

[J-Rod]

Nothing significant is gained by using hot. Hot users are sick and should be locked up with all the other freaks, like pedos and lefties.

 

[NotWii]

Anyone tried washing a plate with cold water? Good fucking luck getting that stuck food off :lol

I brush with warm water and then expel
People that drink warm water are disgusting

 

[J-Rod]

My teefs don't dry. Who has dried, stuck on food on their teeth? Maybe we should all brush with dawn too.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Hot, warm or cold I really don't care, I'm loose with it and I probably use each one equally throughout the whole year.

Now when I need a quick swig before brushing my teeth due to thirst I use warm water because I don't wanna burn or freeze my hand. The two temp extremes are really vivid on my water system.

 

[BeEatNU]

you guys are crazy!

hot water bitches! actually its like warm water.

I brush in the shower! what what what!

 

[tenritsu]

To all you weirdos who brush in the shower, do you spit in the drain?

 

[NotWii]

What about oils clinging to your mouth from greasy food?
Warm water will break it up and wash it out more thoroughly than cold water

mainly on the floor, water rinses it down anyways.

 

[Funky Functionality]

I brush with a bottle of Jack.

Kesha references should be bannable. Let's take a vote.

Also, lukewarm.

 

[antiloop]

Cold, considering the hot tap water here isn't for drinking, plus bacterias thrive in warm environments.

But I drink boiled water from time to time. Heard it's like oil for the intestine.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Warm water. Feels better, also I have sensitive teeth, so fuck that shit first thing in the morning, hear?

 

[Stalfos]

For years I haven't done any pre-rinse, though the warm rinse to soften the brushes makes sense maybe I'll start doing that. Once I've finished brushing I rinse with cold.

 

[DeadGzuz]

It's water. Who cares.

This. I use cold, but claiming anything about "germs" is absurd. Any bacteria involved is either a helpful one or one that your mouth will destroy.

 

[Kentpaul]

I shave with hot water, but fuck brushing my teeth with warm water wtf

 

[StriKeVillain]

I brush in the shower which means hot/warm water.

 

[Stinkles]

Both. Depends what comes out of the tap.

 

[Equus Bellator Apex]

I mean you don't use cold water to wash the dishes now do ya?

 

[Purkake4]

Ah, the weekendly GAF hygiene thread.

Warm water, obviously.

 

[Ripclawe]

warm water and salt on the toothbrush at least once a week. Sorta like sandblasting

 

[kingocfs]

Warm. Always.

 

[Barberetti]

Add me to the warm water to soften the bristles group.

 

[RevoDS]

Usually cold. I don't know why I do besides habit though, because warm/hot water feels better IMO.

 

[NIN90]

It's always kind of bittersweet to see all these banned people in a bumped thread.
