After marathon gaming sessions, some passionate gamers are emerging with a distinct new oral condition – “gamer dent.” This phenomenon occurs when avid gamers grip their controllers too tightly while absorbed in intense virtual worlds, leading to a visible indentation on their teeth from pressing hard plastic against their mouths for hours on end.
Though not medically dangerous, this mark of dedication to gaming is putting a new spin on the term “controller bite” and providing a funny example of how technology can physically transform our bodies. Some gamers even wear their indentations with geeky pride, comparing notes on the most epic gaming quests that led to their “battle scars.”
So while parents have always scolded about rotten teeth from too much candy, get ready for the rise of good old-fashioned “gamer dent!”
