I wet the brush with hot water before I put paste on. My rationale is the brush is sitting in open collecting germs and dust. I also like my tooth paste warm, so I put warm water on top before brushing. I broke all my front teeth in an accident and have crowns that are sensitive.

You raise another good point of order regarding water temperature during the rinse / wetting. I don’t think I’ve ever used hot water.

I asked a dentist and they told me they’d never really thought about it but usually do it after

I use a "teethbrush". We did recently move to Alabama so I don't yet know the protocol here. Do all family members use the same "teethbrush"?

I tend to soak mine in peroxide once a week. No idea if it actually helps but it does with peace of mind.

Messed up and answered incorrectly. Should've chosen other because I do both.

You know, having your toothbrush in close proximity to the place you poop is probably not a good idea.

One of my previous friends lets his cereal soak in milk for about 10 minutes before he eats it.

apply Toothpaste->brush teeth->rinse

never understood the need to pre-wet the thing. lose too much toothpaste scrubbing viscosity.
That’s the actual instructions for toothpaste. Makes a huge difference. I still prefer to wash before and after. You’re also not supposed to rinse your mouth after brushing.

I’ve told my wife this for 11 years, you’re the first person Ive come across that also does it. Cheers
