It usually doesn't do the ice much good!
Depends on the size of the ice. Big bits of ice are more likely to cause damage to the teeth.
It's a habit, don't believe everything you read on the internet!

The desire to chew on ice can be a sign of iron deficiency, it also if very bad for your teeth and can cause them to crack.

Yes, it is a condition called PICA. sp? Usually it is an iron decency. I did this when pregnant with all three of my children. It went away a week after having them. It is not good for your teeth but will not hurt you otherwise. You need to talk to the Dr. It can progress to cravings for clay, laundry detergent, sponges,dirt, etc.... if you start having these tendencies call the Dr. immediately.

If the ice has a polar bear sitting on it, it can cause all sorts of problems.

not a deficiency... just a bad habit. you can chip or crack a tooth easily with ice chewing. not recommended!
