Is chewing ice harmful to teeth?
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.

Yes, it can crack your teeth!
Also, you may want to see a physician if you have cravings for chewing ice, since it's an indication of a vitamin/mineral imbalance.

Well, anything hard like ice probably isn't good for your teeth. So I'd have to say yes. But I do it anyway.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/05juU
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

In America English people are known to have bad teeth. Its a stereotype like how Americans are known to be hicks, or fat.
