Do you brush your teeth with cold, warm, or hot water??
Question: I used to use cold water but the past month I have been using warm.
Answers: Whatever comes out of the tub.
Cold water
I use hot water, to rinse the brush real good before I before, then brush and rinse my mouth with cold water.
cold
I use tepid - not cold but not warm water - to rinse my mouth after brushing.
I use toothpaste to brush my teeth
I think it's better to brush your teeth with cold water for hot water will make your teeth break easily.

Warm Water
Warm....cold water makes my teeth wake up too quickly.
i use cold water and a toothbrush. warm and hot water will soften the bristles.
Hot.
cold water warm and hot water taste nasty
I use hot water to rinse my toothbrush before brushing, but then I use warm water. You know, if you have teeth that stick out a little they're always in the cold. They need some warmth, too!

brushing your teeth with warm water is kinda like taking a shower with cold to me.

Using luke warm or tepid water is better for the teeth. No sense in heating them up with hot or chilling them with cold. We do that enough through out the life of the teeth just by eating and drinking hot and cold things. Haven't you ever drank something hot like coffee or cold like a milk shake and have your teeth sting a little, or just sucked in cold air on a winter day and had to cover your teeth with your lip and tongue quick? That's the expansion and contraction of the teeth and also your restorations that causes the sensitivity. The natural tooth and the restorations expand and contract at different ratios so using hot or cold during brushing causes this expansion and contraction unnecessarily placing stress on the teeth. So especially with people who have restorations or fillings it's advisable. Also it's a good idea with people who have sensitive teeth anyway to use the tepid water. Hope I've been of some help in answering your question today. I know there are others who will disagree with me, but it is better for the teeth and it definitely makes sense, doesn't it?
