  1. yes but it would be like drinking hot water wouldn't it. would taste terrible nyway


  2. lol , i brush mine with hot water , i think im the only one in the whole world

  3. Probably because if you leave the hot tap running whilst brushing your teeth it would get too hot and you may burn yourself/mouth.  Thats the only thing I can think of.

  4. I use warm water, its a lot more refreshing

  5. Cold water seems more refreshing, as the mint is emphasized. Helping our teeth feel fresher and somehow cleaner..but it may be more psychological.

  6. Hot water often comes from a tank, so is not as clean or fresh as cold water - it could have bits of water tank and anything that has fallen into the tank in it, or could have been sat in the tank for days.  You should not drink from the hot water tap unless you know it's fresh running water being instantly heated by passing over a heating element.  It is also more economically and ecologically sound to not heat the water.

    Furthermore, if your heating system is any good, the water is going to get really hot before too long and you'll burn your gob.
