Default Is tooth brushing water from hot tap safer than from cold tap?

Why use water to clean teeth at all? I don't (...and no crack
about using whisky, please). Apply toothpaste to dry brush, brush
teeth, spit into sink, then wash remains away with a small amount
of water, also used to rinse brush, which is then air-dried. Do
twice daily after meals.


That's OTT.

Do it once per 24 hours and mouthwash with Chlorhexidine.



Chlorhexidine is an excellent germicide but it can make teeth go an
unwanted yellow.
