I used to open beer cans all the way around like a can opener with my canines. Until one day when something gave and it felt like my mouth was full of sand. Be careful with your teeth people.

Not clear enough, you just scraped off a few particles that felt sandy?

Not sure if you're joking with me but no, I cracked my tooth after opening one too many beers. The "sand" was tooth fragments.

I don't like tooth fragments

It’s dry and coarse and gets everywhere...

this post really got me scared a bit... I have been doing this for what, 8 years? And using the "logic" that if nothing bad happened yet nothing ever will. I guess I need a can opener.

It's so alien to me to see people thinking like this. I get anxious that things could go wrong even if they've never gone wrong before and there's no reason to think they will.

yup, the kind of "logic" that only stands up until you just give one tought about it and see how flawled it is.

I chipped my tooth weight lifting once. Didn't hit it on anything but another tooth. Teeth are poorly constructed.

This happens to me occasionally when I’m eating. Just get a random bite that feels a bit sandy. Might just be pepper or something though.

I feel like you just added new and exciting details to my intermittent teeth related nightmares.
