Should you brush your teeth with warm/hot water?

Question

Well it stands that hot water cleans things better than cold water. Dishes, clothes, etc. So would it benefit to use the warmest water you can stand when you brush your teeth? Just curious.

No. The **** in hot water tanks is bad to put in your mouth or to swallow

Answer 2

Answer 3
