A member asked:
I have a fear i will chip my tooth & molars bc i might bite down awkwardly. when i was on geodon i had extreme tight jaw & chip tooth on a peach seed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tooth chipping: Usually the result of long time micro-trauma, or sudden macro-trauma. See a Dentist to have your bite evaluated for irregularities. Avoid biting into hard things like peach pits, popsicle sticks, sucking (hard) candy, ice, etc.
