    My teeth are so strong they repel plaque all by themselves.

    Brushing is for the weak.

    Eh cold tap like? Yeah.

    Do other people use warm water?

    WTF? That just ruins your toothbrush.

    I really don't think it's that unusual... most people don't seem to have particularly sensitive teeth:confused:

    Sorry to break it to you but pretty much everyone brushes their teeth with cold tap water. You'll have to find a new party trick.

    :mad: That seems to be the general consensus, 30 voted Yes and only 3 voted No. But here - what would I expect in a country voting Yes for everything ANYWAY :mad: haha

    That's good for checking if you need fillings. Fact.
