Do teeth die due to tongue-hard pushing?
Hii doctor, I have a habit of constantly hard pushing my side teeth using tongue. I don't know why it is but I can't control it. Is the hard pushing to my teeth with tongue supposed to damage or make my side teeth die due to rapid movement? Do you think that it is that hard to cause me teeth problem?

This habit hurt your toung more than tooth
Your toung may got lesion because of continuous irrigation. It will cause difficulty to you.
Next problem for your teeth .teeth may moove slightly because of your pressure. It will disturb your alignment of both uper and lower teeth. And after some time undiagnosed pain on teeth area as well as future problem of TMJ are. Pain on front of ear. And other mayofacial pain.
