The Effects of Nail Biting on Teeth

Nail biting is a very common bad habit, but many people don’t realize the damage it can cause. In this piece we will look at the effects of nail biting on teeth and gums, as well as how to quit.

Perhaps the worst effect of nail biting on teeth is the fact that it can cause teeth to chip or break. Nails are tough and hard, so when you bite down on them you are causing excess stress to your teeth. Over time this weakens them and can eventually result in a tooth chipping or breaking.

Nail biting also causes stress to the gums, as well as the risk of bitten nails tearing into the gum tissue. This causes further weakening to the teeth.

Finally there is a lot of bacteria packed under the nails. When you bite them this bacteria is going directly into your mouth which can lead to both illnesses and gum infections.

As you can imagine all these problems that nail biting can cause are expensive to fix which is why it’s important to beat the habit as quickly as you possibly can.
