I've chewed on my fingernails for a long time and have tried many things to quit but no luck. This has a connection to my teeth. Anyways, when I'd nibble on my nails, every once in a great while my finger would slip and hit my lower gumline. Hurts like a b**** too. Over time, my lower gumline(front four) has begun to recede bc of that slip of my nail.
Out of curiousity, as long as I keep up with my teeth(brushing, flossing,etc). Should I worry about it? Will it heal(replace the tissue that was once lost) at all if I do stop chewing on my nails? They're healthy as they can be..just missing in a couple spots. I'm probably over-reacting too. Haha
