It depends how environmental you are.
I help disabled pp. who can only drink through a straw brush their teeth. I fill a glass of water (small coffee cup sized), dip the toothbrush in it, apply toothpaste, brush their teeth then they take a sip of water, spit in second cup, sip water, spit in a second cup and again if necessary. The water left in the glass I use to rinse off the toothbrush and their spitting glass so that's less than 200mL total. But if a person ran the water the whole time they brushed they could easily fill a 10litre bucket.
In 2006 the US EPA estimated that the average citizen wasted 2 gallons of H2O daily as part of oral hygiene. Today that might amount to 600 million gallons daily! However, recent state studies reflect a positive result of government campaigns to educate citizens: A majority of the people surveyed have reduced water waste during tooth brushing by over 50%. Using a cup to rinse the brush and to wash out ones mouth can reduce the waste even more.

I think that people are wasting so much water, will they are brushing their teeth. Most people probably do not notice what they are doing. I think me and other people think that this problem is really bad, and that someone has to do something about it now

Well you still have to rinse at the beginning and end which takes about 1.5 cups but add running water for about two minutes. Altogether you will save about 3 gallons a day (1095 gallons a year). By the way if you are interested, ask your power and water company and they will give you a free water dampener for your sink, shower head, and toilet.The water in your sink should automatic like the supermarkets and should be controlled by using it carefully.

What happen when you use salt water to brush your teeth?

I have had gum deasese for a long time, my gums were always red, sore, bleeding, and had bad breath, even though I brushed my teeth with toothpaste, I lost some teeth beacause of gum desease, I had a dentist and more than one, tell me that brushing you teeth with salt is good for them. About 4 or 5 years ago, I decided to start brushing with salt, so I got a small plastic bottle, 8 or 10 oz. bottle, filled it with regular table salt, carried it in my shaving kit and started brushing with salt about 2 or 3 times a week, Voila! within one week, my gums stopped bleeding, hurting, the redness was gone, my bad breath was gone, I also brush my tounge with it, I am sold on Salt toothe paste, I should have done this a lot sooner and saved more of my teeth, I also had some cavities, brushing with salt slowed down their progression, when I got them filled the dentist didn't have to grind out as much of my tooth, I could not believe how quick it really worked. I do a long 7-8 minute brush, and in between my teeth, and swish the salt in and out between my teeth, If you have gum deasease, give it a try, you have nothing to lose and maybe get to keep your teeth!
