When adults chew their nails, they are mostly in a state of tension, anxiety and depression, and they will unconsciously want to do something to alleviate this situation and make themselves more comfortable. Similarly, there are touching their hair, doing movements and touching their faces, which can really help them to relieve their tension and gradually form habits.
In addition, some people bite their nails when they concentrate, because it can relieve the pressure brought by the brain.

Hazard 1: Nail damage
Often biting your nails will make your nails bald, and your nails will not only become ugly, but also your nail bed will become uneven and ribbed. Some people's decks can also be embedded in surrounding tissues, causing redness, pain and infection.
In addition, long-term nail groove pain can also cause nail groove inflammation and purulent infection.
Hazard 2: The number of barbs increases.
Long-term nail biting will make the surrounding skin dry and desquamate, and gradually form barbs. If you accidentally touch them, it will be extremely painful. If you pull it out by hand, it will even make the wound bigger and even infected.
Hazard 3: decreased resistance
The test results of Turkish scientists show that 76% of people who bite their nails for a long time have disgusting bacteria in their saliva for a long time.
Hazard 4: Affect gum health.
The dirt in nails is much more than that on hands, which will spread to the mouth when chewing, indirectly affecting the health of gums.
And biting nails can lead to broken teeth, tooth loss, and even serious mandibular dislocation.
Hazard 5: Will grind teeth.
Experts point out that biting your nails is a kind of nervous performance, and so is grinding your teeth at night. If you have bad teeth, you love to chew your nails, and you are likely to grind your teeth when you sleep at night.
Hazard 6: The nail bed becomes shorter.
Long-term biting of nails will damage the nail bed. Nails are constantly chewed and exposed, which will naturally shorten. In the long run, there will always be only a small piece.
Therefore, not only children can't chew their nails, but adults must also control them, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. In fact, besides biting your nails, there are many ways to relieve stress and tension, such as chewing gum, drinking water, watching news and thinking happy things, which will not endanger your health.
