If you struggle with remembering to brush your teeth or just don’t like the feel of it running your tooth bush under hot water for 20-30 seconds before you apply tooth paste and brush can help.
The hot water makes the bristles softer so it cleans better and gentler.
The gentler bristles also make it so your gums don’t bleed (or bleed as much) which happens when you don’t brush your teeth often.
