Broken and chipped teeth, discolored enamel, sensitive teeth – these are just some of the dental issues that are caused by bad habits. If you do the following bad habits, you could experience the aforementioned issues:

1. Chewing hard objects

Do you like to bite your nails or chew the cap of your pen? Many people find this habit cathartic. It’s a way for them to release their stress. But doing so often can wear down your teeth and can even make you more susceptible to a chipped tooth. Unless you break away from this bad habit, you could end up with irregular-shaped teeth.

2. Drinking cold water after eating something hot

You just chugged a glass of cold water after slurping hot ramen. That’s not good for your teeth. Think of your teeth as a glass. When you pour hot water on the glass, pour it out, and then pour in cold water, what do you think will happen? The same thing can happen to your teeth.

3. Swishing your coffee, tea or soda in your mouth

Do you like swishing coffee, soda or tea in your mouth? Perhaps you do it subconsciously. Exposing your teeth to these beverages can make you more susceptible to teeth discolorations. These beverages can leave behind residues that can collect on the teeth and become hardened biofilm.
