It's common. Switch to sugarless gum.

The cavities are caused by acids produced in your mouth, generally by bacteria working on traces of food there. The ice is a separate issue, and that's been addressed above. Find out if you're anemic; your doctor can recommend iron and/or B vitamins to correct the condition if it exists.

I think on the planet pluto, the air is so cold it is chewable, so you might just be an alien, or you might be just addicted to chewing ice. Why? The same reason you get addicted to anything else, it just becomes a habit. The only way to stop is to stop. Use willpower.

Ice is Water.... I don't think that chewing ice would cause cavities.... I chew ice all the time.

FYI...Iron tables can make you constipated. So be careful how much you take.
I remember hearing a myth that said " if you chew ice it means you are sexually frustrated".???
I am sure of one thing you did not get the cavities from ice cubes!!!

Lord knows why, but there seems to be a fairly high correlation between a desire to chew ice and anemia. Get a blood test from your doctor.

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/p7n73
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.

Its called pagophagia. It can either mean that you are anemic (low iron) or have a condition called pica which is when people eat things that are not real food (plaster, starch, soap, etc.). Some anorexics also eat ice. Hope this helps.

You need to see your doctor for sure and have a blood test.
Craving ice is one of the signs of anemia. You should be taking
iron tablet. I take two a day.

Ice is very bad for your teeth, stop now and chew on sugarless gum.

I think your dentist is full of it. It has to do with a vitamin deficiency from what I've heard, but haven't confirmed it from any authority. How to stop? Wait until you break a tooth or just stop it.
'Nuff said?
