  relieve stress.

  tooth or a filling will break.

  as well as muscle tenderness or joint pain.

  have less tooth damage,less pain and muscle
  soreness and better sleep.

Gummy Candy

  your teeth long after the moment you eat them.

  dental enamel, which is why they're famous for
  causing cavities

Opening things with your mouth

• There's no need to crack open a bottle or package
  with your teeth - this is a surefire way to chip
  your pearlies and irritate gums.
• Keep bottle openers and scissors handy to avoid
  using your chompers as tools.

Drinking soda

• Drinking down soft drinks is one of the biggest
  causes of tooth decay in the U.S.

  enamel and lead to dental caries, or cavities.

  dentist for cavity treatments, substitute soft
  beverages for milk or water.
