Your mother was right: Never open bottles, packages, or other containers with your teeth. You might permanently chip or crack the enamel.
It’s never too early to protect
teeth. Giving a baby a bedtime bottle of juice, milk, or formula, can put new
teeth on a path to decay. The baby may become used to falling asleep with the
bottle in his or her mouth, bathing the teeth in sugars overnight. It's best to
keep bottles out of the crib.
It’s natural and sugar free, so you might think ice is
harmless. But munching on hard, frozen cubes can chip or even crack your teeth.
And if your mindless chomping irritates the soft tissue inside a tooth, regular
toothaches may follow. Hot foods and cold foods may trigger quick, sharp jabs
of pain or a lingering toothache. Next time you get the urge for ice, chew some
sugarless gum instead.
