Nail Biting and Your Child’s Teeth

• Nail biting is a common habit among school-aged children, especially during stress or boredom.

• Frequent nail biting can chip teeth, irritate gums, and even move teeth slightly out of position over time. It can also introduce germs from under the nails into the mouth.

• Encourage your child to keep nails trimmed short and to use healthy fidget habits, like a stress ball or sensory toy.

• Ask BalloonDoc 🎈🦷 for gentle strategies to help your child stop the habit.
