Many parents think chewing pencils, nails, or toys is just a harmless habit.
But did you know this small habit can slowly damage your child’s teeth, jaw, and even overall health?
Hard objects like pencils, nails, bottle caps, and random toys are not teething toys.
They can cause cracks or chipping in developing teeth, allow germs to enter the mouth, and even disturb proper jaw growth over time.
Repeated chewing may also affect teeth alignment and bite, creating problems that need correction later.
The good news?
Early awareness and the right guidance can prevent long-term dental issues.
If you notice constant chewing habits in your child, don’t ignore it.
An early dental check-up can protect your child’s smile and future oral health.
