Do not panic. Accidentally swallowing a tiny amount of tap water while brushing your teeth is highly unlikely to cause severe illness. Your stomach acid can generally handle minor exposures.

To be perfectly safe many cautious tourists choose to brush their teeth using bottled water just to completely eliminate the risk of ruining their holiday.

However if you drank a full glass of unboiled unfiltered tap water you are at a very high risk of contracting travelers diarrhea or a stomach bug within the next 24 hours due to unfamiliar local bacteria.
