Stop it! Your teeth are not meant to be used as tools, and doing so can damage your enamel and lead to chips, cracks, and other problems Teeth have one job: they are designed for eating. Each type of tooth has a specific role in the eating process – incisors cut, canines tear, and molars grind and crush food. Despite their strength, teeth are not intended to withstand the pressures and types of forces exerted when used as tools. Using them for tasks they are not intended to perform can lead to all kinds of problems, from enamel erosion and sensitivity to oral infections as well as tooth damage and loss.

Things not do with your teeth: Breaking threads, tearing tape Crunching ice Detaching clothing tags Holding objects Nail biting Removing bottle caps
