Caution! Avoid opening bottle tops with your Teeth

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

1. Opening bottle tops is not part of the functions of the teeth.
2. Your tooth could chip off and become sensitive.
3. A weak part of the bottle(glass) may break off causing injury to your lip/cheek.
4. The tooth might break off requiring you to do a treatment on the tooth before placing a crown.
5. 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.
