Is it normal to scrape the plaque off my teeth with my nails

Just something I picked up between brushing during the day to judge how bad my teeth were. Sometimes I’ll roll it around on my finger tips until it spreads thin enough that I can’t see or feel it anymore. Thoughts?

Is It Normal?

  • Yeah I do that. Thanks for reminding me to do it. After reading this comment, you can assume that I followed it up by scraping plaque off of my teeth. I would tell you what the experience is like but I will only be able to do so after writing this comment. I am sorry for the inconvenience, if any.

  • I have done that but I don’t play with it. I just eat out of my nails.
