its like dogs crewing on rocks. Dont do it to much lol
i dont think so
I do not think it is unless you have braces or a retainer
Yup. And it is also a sign of anemia, get your iron levels checked.
I hope not, I do it often.
yes, very bad... one thing is because ice is so cold and second thing it's because its so hard.
Yes. The vast change in temperature damages the enamel and can lead to cracking. I've lost a portion of a molar in the back, partly due to crunching on ice.
yes
No..chew away
thas what i heard!
Its not really bad but you can chip a tooth. I heard people who have braces or retainers aren't supposed to chew on it~
Yes it is because it is kind of like chewing on a jawbreaker.
Trust me my dentist told me.
chew poop. it's softer and flings better when chewed
yes
that's what people say, but I don't see how it's worse than other crunchy things.
i have always been told that it damages the enamel on your teeth-- so instead of those big hue pieces i chew on shaved, chipped, or flaked ice.. they aren't as hard so if ti bad it can't be near as bad as those huge pieces.
why ice? only thing good to chew is gum!
No I don't think so.

mavy it depens wath r u talking about
Yes.
no
Definitely.
Yes, because ice is really a group of crystals all formed up into one piece. People I know have chipped their teeth doing this. It's like biting on bunches of sharp diamonds.
YES! It can leave minor cracks in your teeth. They aren't really noticeable, but your dentist will sure notice them. I chewed on ice all the time when I was pregnant with my first child and I have those now. Don't do it.
idk i never realy tought about that befor
Chewing ice on a regular basis can cause damage to teeth. The main problem I see in my patients who chew ice, is ‘fracture lines’ in their teeth. Fracture lines are not unusual, especially as we grow older but I see an unusually large amount of fracture lines in "ice-chewers". These fracture lines can cause teeth to be sensitive to cold and/or biting pressure. Once these symptoms appear, the best treatment is to place a crown on the tooth. Occasionally, if these cracks are deep enough, they "kill" the nerve in the tooth, making root canal treatment necessary. It may occasionally be necessary to extract the tooth.

Chewing ice can also cause a piece of the tooth to completely fracture off. Again, this is treated by placing a crown on the tooth. This habit can also cause the enamel to wear away more quickly as we see in people who grind their teeth (bruxism). This makes your teeth more susceptible to decay.
well depending how cold or hard. if its very cold, it'll get stuck on your tounge. if its hard, ur teeth will break. so, u will notice red on the ice cube. u can chew on small ice cubes. or crunched ice. it might also grind the tooth or unstraighten it.
it is really bad to chew on ice when i was smaller i chewed ice all the time and the dentist told me to stop chewing on ice so don't do it.....
