Do you think it's cool to open the bottle cap with your teeth? "Open" has "teeth" logic!

Friends gathering, family dinner, late night barbecue

A bottle of beer is always a must

Some people

In order to save trouble or show off their "iron teeth and copper teeth"

I like to use my teeth as a bottle opener

Opening bottle caps with teeth

Looks like a cool pose

actually

Your teeth hurt!

Tooth fractures are more likely to occur

First of all, the development of teeth is different for each person. Some people have deep grooves on their teeth, with more and deeper fissures. Fissures are a congenital defect in tooth structure and are also the starting point for tooth fracture. From a mechanical point of view, the deeper the fissures in the developmental grooves, the greater the possibility of fracture.

Secondly, using teeth to open a bottle cap requires a lot of force, which can easily break your teeth.

Generally speaking, two factors are required to cause tooth fracture:

✔The first is that the power is strong enough ,

✔The second is sudden force increase .

Unfortunately, when we use our teeth to pry open the beer cap, the above conditions are met! !

May cause damage to the temporomandibular joint

Due to uneven force when biting the bottle cap, the temporomandibular joint is easily damaged, and there will be effusion and aseptic inflammation in the joint, accompanied by pain when opening the mouth, limited opening and closing of the mouth, reduced chewing function, etc. The damage to teeth caused by hard objects is often hidden. Basically, teeth that have bitten beer bottle caps will have a certain degree of damage. Some damage cannot be felt at first, but will gradually show up.

Swallowing the bottle cap

Opening the bottle cap with your teeth can easily lead to accidental swallowing. Many people may not understand how it is possible to swallow a beer bottle cap that big? Beer contains a lot of carbon dioxide, and the internal pressure is relatively high. The internal pressure of the beer after being shaken can directly break the bottle cap or even burst the bottle.

Why not be afraid of the worst?

When teeth are injured by chewing on hard objects, the treatment method varies depending on the severity of the injury.

Situation 1: Tooth sensitivity or mild pain

Treatment: Avoid chewing on hard objects and let your teeth rest for a while. You can use professional desensitizing toothpaste to relieve tooth sensitivity. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination.

Situation 2: Bleeding or swollen gums

Treatment: Rinse your mouth with salt water to keep it clean and prevent infection. You can gently apply a cold towel to your face to reduce swelling. If bleeding does not stop or swelling is severe, seek medical attention immediately.

Case 3: Cracked or broken teeth

Treatment: Avoid chewing with the injured tooth and go to the dental department for examination and repair as soon as possible to avoid missing the best time for repair. Depending on the severity of the injury, you may need to undergo tooth restoration, filling or tooth extraction.

No matter what happens, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible for professional examination and treatment . The doctor will give a suitable treatment plan based on the specific situation to help restore the health and function of the teeth.

A reminder to all the brave ones who use their teeth to open bottle caps: although tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, it is still not as hard as metal products! I hope all the "foodies" will protect their teeth while drinking, and don't ask for trouble!
