Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The biting on pens ,bottles ,straws ,gums suggests the psychological conditions of yours.The stress in life and or anger is being tried to be overcome with this measures.

I would suggest you to reduce your stress levels and lead a carefree life ,which would reduce the risk of biting this things.

If you are under any depression,i would advice you to visit a psychiatrist and get it treated and check up.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards for a very happy life.
