Is it bad for your teeth if you eat ice alot??

Answer 1

Ice breaks teeth. If you MUST chew ice, choose ice from an ice maker and let it sit around for a while before you start to crunch. Shaved ice is even better.

Chewing ice (or other foreign matter) in excess is for SOME reason associated with anemia. Ask your doctor about this and consider getting a blood test for anemia.

It is, but a lot of people eat it anyway. It could chip your teeth or, if you wear braces, it could knock the brackets off or damage them.

Answer 7

Yes, because without you knowing your gums will be unstable and all your teeth might fall out.
