I use luke warm water because it feels better when I rinse.  The cold hurts my teeth.  I rinse my brush with really hot water.  And sometimes use mouthwash on my toothbrush to kill germs.

I have heard you should use warm water and finish rinsing with cooler water as it closes the pores.

yes.  My mom bought one for me a few years ago when I was in college.  It cleans your teeth much more thouroughly.  I can feel the difference when I'm done brushing.  My dentist always compliments me on how well I brush now whenever I go for a check up.

Soaps generally are only used to lubricate your hands (or other areas) to allow bacteria to 'slide' off. People think soaps act as an antibacterial but they are wrong. It is simply the lubricating affect of them that makes them useful. This also means that it doesn't matter whether you use hot or cold water either. Bacteria is not killed any better with hot water than it is with cold.

For me: Plax. You use it before you brush, and it works everytime. I rinse my mouth with it for a minute every little while, and eventually it removes the irritant and cleans the space that is infected. If I get a toothache, it usually stops within an hour or so at most. If I use it regularly, I don't get a toothache. I don't need pain killers it goes so fast. Plax is easy on soft tissue, too. Really.

the cold water cools down the hot water, and the hot water warms up the cold water until they are at the same temperature....lukewarm water

I know you want to avoid icy cold drinks when its hot, because your body may reject them.  Especially if you are working out or dehydrated, its better to drink room temperature or only slightly cool water.  But hot drinks dont sound that good for you either.

Floss first, then brush.  The bacteria in the plaque that's on your teeth will use the food particles, especially carbs, as fuel, then will give off toxins and acids as waste products.  This is not what you want sitting on your teeth all nite!  You'll end up with cavities and/ or gingivitis.  Brushing before bed is the most important time to brush!

well lets see, if cold water is anything above 0 Centigrade and hot water is anything under boiling....my money is on the hot winning. What I can not understand is why you asked?

not suppose to rinse with water after mouthwash. The idea is to allow mouthwash to kill bacteria between the teeth and gum and it takes time, just spit it out but don't wash it off with water because the bacteria is back the minute you rinse it off. I highly recommend you use Tea Tree mouth wash (ask the pharmacist) it's all natural and very effective so you don't need to worry about any chemicals.

I do, I think I brush my teeth better when I'm in the shower because I'm not worrying about where the toothpaste goes, so I'm focusing on getting that deep clean.
