I often cringe at the sight of anyone trying to open bottle tops with their teeth because I imagine the tooth giving way instantly. Though the teeth is very hard, it sometimes fractures when subjected to force in appropriately applied to it. When a bottle opener can not be readily found, some resort to using their teeth.
Opening bottle tops with your teeth is a bad habit that should not be encouraged as it could lead to tooth fracture with subsequent tooth loss which will cost you some money to restore.
5 Reasons you should never open Bottle tops with your teeth
- Opening bottle tops is not part of the functions of the teeth.
- Your tooth could chip off and become sensitive.
- A weak part of the bottle(glass) may break off causing injury to your lip/cheek.
- The tooth might break off requiring you to do a treatment on the tooth before placing a crown.
- You could lose the tooth if broken beyond repair.
When next you are tempted to show off your bottle opening skills remember it’s not worth it; get an opener.
