Does chewing ice cubes harm you?

Question:

Answers:
I chew several trays of ice a day and have for years- drinking water isn't my thing so I get my water in a nice crunchy snack. My dentist and I have talked about it and she doesn't see any damage to my teeth. I have, however cut myself a few times. Make smaller ice cubes with cold water that has run a while and they break up easier without damaging the soft tissues of your mouth. If you don't have healthy, strong teeth then you may experience some tooth chipping.

Some people get cravings for ice because their bodies are short of iron (not me) so if this is something new for you and you aren't getting enough iron in your diet then you may want to talk to your doctor about a blood test and iron supplements. If it is an iron deficiency then that should stop the craving.

Me I find it a crunchy tasty snack with zero calories.

it might hurt your teeth, but no........
