Nothing against it in itself for hygiene reasons BUT I wouldn't do it because I don't think you should have water from hot tank in your mouth.
So against it for reasons of health, not hygiene.

I brush my teeth in the shower sometimes, my dh did it and I thought I'd give it a go. The hot water thing was a bit weird at first, cold is definitely more refreshing but you get used to it. Combi boiler so no tank troubles!

Oooh I'm a warm water brusher and can't wait til morning when I will brush teeth in shower for first time. Sounds blissful.

I always always do this - I consider it time-saving and water-saving. I brush my teeth whilst my conditioner is on (there's not a lot else I can do during that time let's face it).

Also it doesn't matter if you slavver froth everywhere because the water just washes it right off. I don't 'drink' the water but I love the feeling of the hot water spraying in my mouth (I don't have a storage tank either). Brilliant and highly recommended.
