Things Your Dog Does With Their Teeth That Humans Shouldn't Do

Your dog has chew toys. You have scissors. 🐶✂️ Dr. John Ku and Bali are breaking down things dogs do with their teeth that humans should never copy.

Chewing ice, biting pens or fingernails, tugging on tags and clothing, and using your teeth to open packages may seem harmless, but these habits can cause chipped teeth, enamel cracks, sensitivity, damaged fillings, broken crowns, and even the need for a root canal.

Your teeth are designed to chew food, not replace tools. If you chip or crack a tooth, do not wait to have it checked. Even a small crack can spread and become a much bigger dental problem.
