7. Using your pearly whites to nibble your nails
Please, don’t fall into the temptation of using your pearly whites to nibble your nails, open a bag of chips, or rip price tags off your newly-bought T-shirts. Doing all of these can put the health of your teeth at risk. A dentist in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, Mehdi Karimipour, DMD, says that you may chip your teeth this way. So, just open your kitchen drawer and grab the scissors.
8. Grinding at night
Maybe your spouse already told you that you’re grinding your pearly whites at night. But did you actually do something about it? If your partner told you about your dental issue and you’re also experiencing sore jow and a dull headache from time to time, speak with your dentist as soon as possible because you’ll most likely have to wear a mouthguard.
