Hot take: I quit biting my nails after a dentist visit in Omaha made me see the gross part
I was sitting in the chair at my dentist in Omaha getting a cleaning when he asked me to hold up my hands so he could see my nails, and he pointed out the little ridges and worn down edges from 15 years of chewing on them. He said it was causing my front teeth to chip and that I had already worn down two of them, which finally grossed me out enough to stop cold turkey three weeks ago. For people who quit a fidget habit like nail biting or skin picking, what did you swap it for when your hands got that restless feeling?
