Summary
The article highlights everyday habits that quietly damage your teeth and gums, urging readers to rethink these common behaviors. Nail biting exerts pressure that can chip or shift teeth while transferring bacteria into the mouth. Frequent sipping of acidic sparkling water softens enamel, making it more susceptible to erosion. Chewing ice can crack fillings and chip enamel, and using teeth as tools to open packages or hold objects puts unnecessary strain on them. Brushing too hard wears down enamel and irritates gums. The piece concludes by encouraging small behavior changes and preventative dental care to protect your smile.
