Opening bottle caps with your teeth ...

[Vonkhan]

I've been opening bottle caps with my teeth since I was 16 ...

Is it really that bad for your teeth? I've never been to a dentist in my life, never had any cavities or any other problems ...

Stop doing that . A root canal is $560+ where I reside , and implant runs $2500+

 

[imported_LoKe]

It's terribly bad for most people's teeth.

What, you can't twist the cap off w/ your fingers? Wuss.

i have a buddy that can rip the top off of a beer can with his teeth.

Just use your hands. Calloused hands make it real easy.

 

[Leper Messiah]

dude, thats a good way to get chipped/crack/generally fscked up teeth. get a keychain bottle opener or buy twist offs.

Is chewing metal good for your teeth? :roll:

Is that a serious question? I thought it was pretty common sense that biting on anything hard (like metal) could possibly damage your teeth. What next, "Is chewing on a rock bad for your teeth?"

 

[GeekDrew]

OP... are you *completely* insane?

 

[Al Neri]

I've done it before. Maybe when I was younger. I never bragged about it to seem cool :cough; :cough; OP.

give me a break... you're cool, we all know ! 😛

 

[Midlander]

I think he's kidding. This cannot be serious.

 

[intogamer]

use your shirt if you have to

 

[mugs]

That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

 

[Zebo]

Retard. I saw a guy once was stripping wire with his teeth, the big stuff that goes in walls, and broke one right in half. $1000 later I bet he wished he bought a $10 Klien wire stripper.

I never really thought about it ... until now. It's not s'thing that I'd do in polite company, but at times like when I can't be bothered to look for a bottle opener if there's like a Giants game on, my teeth do just fine.

The only reason I'm asking is becuz I'm becoming old, I guess ... and trying to take better care of my body

Unless your teeth are made of steel, I don't suggest doing it.

Most of us even who take care of our teeth will be hard pressed to have them all late in life -- you don't have a chance keep doing that. Teeth were made to last 40 years... humans recently live 80-100.


Edit BTW. you can use any hard long object to open a bottle like a screwdriver, lighter etc.. Grab bottle at neck just wedge object under cap and over thumb and pry up.

My friend does that all the time, I guess I shuold tell him to stop. BTW anyone know any cool tricks to opening bottles? I can do it with another bottle but thats about it.

With plastic bottle's its not so amazingly bad, but it should never be done with metal or pop off lids.

It's not good for you, but being a badass never is.
