Been chewing ice for 35 years or so. Never had a cavity. Never chipped a tooth due to ice (playground equipment, yes).
Oh, and I’m from Arkansas. Breaking the hillbilly stereotype. Dentists hate me because they don’t make money on me.
It will catch up with you, it did me. Took more than 50 years but it did catch up.
Chewing ice and chewing tobacco take their toll.
My husband loved to chew ice and never had a cavity in his life. Perfect teeth! On the other hand I have weak teeth and am positive if I chewed ice even once I’d likely need at least 2 more crowns :(
“Been chewing ice for 35 years or so. Never had a cavity. Never chipped a tooth”
Same with me except I did chip a little piece out of a front tooth which isn’t worth fixing.
My “secret” is to not chomp down too hard on a piece of ice. If it doesn’t easily break, leave it alone.
Also, if you leave ice cubes in a warm area for awhile such as in a drink glass after you’ve drunk the liquid, the cubes get softer.
I've heard that a fish doesn't know it is in water.
I stopped after I split a molar in half in my mid twenties. Still have the crown 35 years later. Dentist did a good job.
Yeah... I chew a lot of Sonic ice, as well as my home ice. I’ve never - in 50+ years, had a problem with ice.
Dog collars, fists, sure, yeah. But never ice.
