I do not turn the water off because I have to use warm water.  It takes me a while to get it at the right temperature so I don't want to turn it off til I'm done.  I do turn it down, so it isn't running as hard but not off.

I let the water run slow while I brush my teeth.  I rinse the toothbrush, add the toothpaste and then brush.  Then I spit and rinse out my mouth.  I can't leave the toothpaste in too long because I will gag.

uhhh  no,,,  even tho I know I should.   Don't know why I do't.  Maybe I just like to hear it running.  It isn't on full blast just enough to rinse the toothbrush off LOL

I usually fill up a small dixie cup with water.  I don't let the water run while I'm brushing my teeth.

My hubby always brushes his teeth in the shower.

Yes...I try to conserve water whenever possible.  Why let run when you dont need/use water?

Yes, I turn the water off because it's a waste of water.

I do.  My husband is hypervigilant about wasted water, electricity, recycling, etc.
