9 Common Mistakes That Damage Your Teeth

Using Teeth For Everything

The tips of the teeth are the thinnest part of a tooth, so, therefore, it is easier to damage as well as wear away. Using the teeth to consistently open packaging is a terrible habit to get into and will cause chips and even the shape of teeth to change. Sharp teeth that can tear through a plastic packaging will eventually lose this sharpness due to this damaging habit. According to many dentists, pen and pencil chewing, as well as chewing fingernails are also considered bad habits that can similarly damage the teeth. Chips, fractures, and long-term damage can be the result of opening one too many beer bottles or packets of chips with the teeth. Save your teeth and invest in a Swiss Army Knife.
