Our tooth enamel is one of the strongest tissues in our bodies, but it can still be damaged by a number of everyday items and bad habits which can cause breaks and chips in our teeth’s structure. Also, teeth with decay beneath the service are more susceptible to breaks due to a weakened internal structure.
Let’s take a look at some of the most common source of chips and breaks:
• The chewing of hard food items such as nuts, ice or boiled sweets.
• Improper use of your teeth, such as opening bottles.
• Unexpectedly biting down on something hard, such as an olive stone.
• Receiving a knock to the face, common for contact sport players.
