- Fingernail biting, chewing on pens or pencils, holding needles or pins between the teeth, etc.
- Oral jewelry - Patients with pierced lips and/or tongue often wear away the
enamel on adjacent teeth.
Regularly sucking on lemons or limes
- Regularly eating or sucking on candies, especially "sour" candies as they often contain sugar and citric acid!
- Drinking several soft drinks daily, even "diet" soft drinks
- Drinking several glasses of lemonade daily
- Drinking several cups of coffee or glasses of tea daily

After eating or drinking any food with acid, it's a good idea to at least rinse your mouth with fresh water when you are finished in order to reduce the amount of time the acids have to work on your teeth.
