Do you chew your ice? Stop it!


A lot of people just can’t help chewing on ice. 

According to Dr. Tatiana Barton, a dentist in Stamford, Connecticut, chewing ice can do some serious damage. Over time, chewing on ice can create multiple tiny fractures you may not even be aware of. One more ice chip, or other seemingly harmless chew, could result in a serious break and require major restoration to repair. 

Chewing on ice can also result in damaged enamel and sensitivity. Some people have a real compulsion to chomp on chips and it can be difficult to break the ice chewing habit.
