Can playing the violin possibly damage your teeth?

. asked:


I play the violin, and I have rehearsal every day during school. Sometimes after rehearsal, my teeth feel really weird, like they could fall out. About twenty minutes after rehearsal ends, my teeth feel totally fine! Any ideas why this happens?

   I don’t know, maybe, I’ve never heard of the voilin damaging teeth.

   You play with the end of the violin near your chin, maybe the vibrations are irratating your nerves.

   It possibly could be from the pressure against your jaw for so long. Check with your dentist to make sure you don’t have gum disease, which can cause teeth to loosen, to be sure. Otherwise, it may just be pressure plus vibrations against your jaw.

   Good luck!

   Its probably the violin pressed up against your jaw bone.

   Don’t worry, it will get used to it after a little while.

   yea
   the vibrations actually make resonance in your teeth and slowly peels off the enamel
