Dentists Warn Against Opening Bottles With Your Teeth After Madison Beer's TikTok

Dentists have had to warn against opening bottles with your teeth, after Madison Beer showed off her skills on TikTok.

The original video was posted by Madison's mate YouTuber David Dobrik and it shows the singer opening a beer bottle with her perfect white teeth.

Thankfully, her teeth remained intact - THIS TIME - but horrified dentists have taken to the platform to warn any young, impressionable fans not to follow her lead.

TikTok user Doctor Tristan Peh, who is a dentist at a surgery in Singapore, shared the video, saying: "Do not use your teeth as tools!

"Using your teeth as a bottle opener can cause chipping, breaking or fracture of your teeth.

"Please don't do it!"

Another video shows dentist Yann Roy holding up a model of a set of teeth, saying: "Be careful with your teeth."

So all in all, it could cause you some painful, expensive dental damage, which nobody really needs.

Of course, we all have that one mate who thinks they look cool af when they're opening a beer with their mouth.

According to Rocky Ridge Dental, one of the leading causes of broken or chipped teeth comes from people using them for things they're not intended to - like opening beer bottles.

And if you think you've been getting away with it and so must have superhuman strong teeth, the surgery's website reads: "Repeated high pressure on the same points of the same teeth can have a cumulative effect, causing tiny cracks and weaknesses to build on the inside of the tooth.

"Eventually, those weaknesses build to a point where it really doesn't take much for major tooth damage to occur."

Gross.

Dentists really are fountains of knowledge, in fact one says that he and his colleagues are able to spot whether a patient has had oral sex.

He goes by the handle @dentite on TikTok recently responded to claims that your dentist knows all.

And it turns out that yes, yes they do.

In a video to his account, he explained: "I get this question a lot, and yeah, we know."

In a second video, he then elaborates on exactly how this is possible.

He says: "Palatal petechia. This is what it's called. If you like, say, sucking on a lollipop, one or two, here or there, not a big deal. But let's say you like sucking on multiple, multiple, multiple, multiple lollipops all the time, you've got a problem that's gonna cause palatal petechia."
