We all have bad habits we’d like to break, but a few of them can also do major damage to your teeth! 😧 Here are 6 bad habits that might be harming your teeth:
1️⃣ Nail biting - This nervous habit can chip teeth and impact your jaw.
2️⃣ Brushing too hard - Brushing with a hard toothbrush, or brushing too hard, can damage teeth and irritate gums.
3️⃣ Grinding your teeth - This can cause chipping or cracking of the teeth, as well as muscle tenderness or joint pain.
4️⃣ Chewing ice cubes - Chewing hard ice cubes can cause a tooth or filling to break.
5️⃣ Constant snacking - Snacking multiple times a day, especially on sugary foods and drinks, puts you at a higher risk for cavities.
6️⃣ Using teeth as tools - If you use your teeth to rip open a wrapper, for example, you put yourself at a higher risk of cracking your teeth, injuring your jaw or accidentally swallowing something you shouldn’t.
