Let's talk about HOW nail biting actually damages teeth, as well as HOW to STOP!

Chewing on your nails is a bad habit for some of us. If you’re a nail biter, you know how hard it is to try to stop doing it every day. The teeth damage from nail biting is real. Plus, putting your fingers in your mouth these days adds to the risk of spreading viruses, germs, etc. When you stop biting nails or other chewing habits, it significantly benefits both your smile’s integrity as well as your overall health. Today we’ll talk about 9 ways to help you learn how to stop biting your nails ever again.

Nail biting physically requires positioning your teeth in a way where they hit end-to-end. This is not a normal biting pattern. When we put the tips of our teeth together and grind, bite, or chew on our nails, it places irregular biting pressure on those parts of our teeth. If you don’t stop biting nails anytime soon, it will eventually cause those teeth to start wearing down. They’ll physically look short and flat on the biting edges.

Teeth damage from nail biting isn’t your only concern. TMJ and jaw issues may flare up as well. When you’re pushing your lower jaw forward far enough to bite the front teeth end-to-end and also apply chewing pressure, your jaw is forcing your TMJ to work unnaturally. Day after day, the strain can take a toll on your joint and the tissues around it.

As with any bad habit, how to stop biting your nails starts with a “why”. Why do you want to stop biting nails every day? What is it that bothers you about your habit? Your reasons will vary from your neighbors, but the tooth damage from nail biting and the way it makes your hands look overall is more than enough of an incentive.

After you discover your “why”, it’s time to make a plan. No one accidentally just stops biting their nails. It takes a carefully thought-out strategy, dedication, and even sometimes rewarding yourself.

Whether you’re an adult who still bites your nails or you’re trying to help your child break the habit, here are a handful of tactics you can try. Not each one is right for everyone, but you’ll be able to find at least one or two that apply to your situation.
