Really Random Question

[Siryn]

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.

I use hot water.. lol I think *I* am prolly the weirdo though.

[Mandy]

I use cold to get my toothbrush wet and lukewarm to rinse. Cold water burns my mouth after brushing.

[scrapperjade]

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 !

almost hot...very very warm. I have sensitive teeth too.

[momtutu]

cold here!

[justanotherjen]

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 because the cold hurts my teeth.

[Paula]

I use warm water. I have a strict dental regime that I have to follow, and that's what my dentist recommended.

[jennpage]

I guess I would say lukewarm. Sometimes cold if I end up in a hurry and don't pay attention but never hot.

[Sharon Kay]

cool...not cold and not lukewarm...just a tad on the cool side...

[wildblueeyez]

[LenaGardner]

[sannajeannine]

[newfiemountiewife]

As cold as possible!

[krystalhartley]

Cold here. My husband does warm and I did it accidentally once and nearly gagged.

[lizzyfizzy]

i think i just use which ever i happen to turn on.

[jessica31876]

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

[Jennilyn]

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.

yeah, what Ms Fizz said.

[MelindaH]

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.

Me too. I'm actually surprised at all the people that use warm or hot. I can't stand it that way.

[pbumbaca]

Sensitive teeth here so cold is out, has to be at least very warm for me.

I'm with you. In the shower,so God willing, the water is warm!

[Sarah8914]

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.

[Rae's World]

I'm a hottie!!!!

[~Julie~]

Warm... I can not brush with cold.. I have very sensitive teeth.

[meganmecrazy]

I use hot water.

[Joan]

I think if you ever drained a hot water tank, you might think twice about using anything but cold.

[Priscilla]

um - I think its cold

[switchwiz]

cold for sure!

[Jamies Creations]

Lukewarm for me, I have super sensitive teeth and will be in pain for 10 minutes if I use cold...

[Kim]

I guess cold because I just turn the water on and use whatever comes out... which is always cold.

I rinse with cold though. I like the way it makes my mouth feel fresh and clean afterwards
