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

However what about brushing your teeth? Most people would brush
their teeth using water from the cold tap in the bathroom. ...


That is why the cold tap to the hand basin in my bathroom complies
with the requirements for a tap that supplies drinking water.



Coilin, can you please clarify.

You don't actually say it but are you suggesting that there is a reg
which requires the cold water tap in the bathroom basin to be fed from
the rising main?


There is no such requirement. I am simply stating that I made sure that the
supply to mine met the requirements for a tap supplying drinking water as
set out in Paragraph 27 of Schedule 2 to the Water Supply (Water Fittings)
Regulations 1999, because I knew I would be using it to clean my teeth.
