cut nails with clippers, my husband rips his off

Yikes! Doesn't it hurt him when he does it like that? I know that it also damages the actual flesh that holds the nails on the side. If he doesn't want to use nail clippers, maybe he can use those small, grooming scissors instead? Anything but his mouth and teeth. Not only is it gross but it can be unhealthy and might cause infections. But in the 10 years or so that he's doing it, could it be tha he's immune to it?

well it is not good to rip or chew off your nails it have may issues that can come out of it and it is not recomended i hope that you can get him to start using clippers

i tried it once to bite and tear off my fingernails. and i wasn't happy about the result. not only did i tear off a large portion which left my finger swollen, i also got a fingernail stuck in between my teeth. and that was it. i bought my own nail clipper form then on. i guess it's ok to just bite off your fingernail, if you could manage to remove just the appropriate portion, and not dig deeper into the fingers. but your toenails? i dunno.. probably if you are alone and no one else will know about it.
