Yeah, it's a bad habit.. Yes, I know it's bad for your teeth. But I chew ice for what ever reason. No, I am not frustrated either.. I ve been chewing ice for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a kid.. Does anyone else chew or know anyone else that chews ice? Does it annoy your loved ones as it does mine?

Ever since my 7th month of pregnancy I love chewing ice. Its like a food craving. Ice is soooooo good. I didn't know it was bad for you teeth but thanks to you now I have learned my one thing for the day.

hahahaha.. Yeah it's bad for your teeth..I guess you can knock some filings loose, or chip your teeth. It drives my wife, who happens to be pregnant, crazy.. So far no ice cravings for her :D

I was actually told by a doctor that chewing ice is actually a sign of an iron deficiency. My son used to do it all the time. We sent him for a blood test and yep he was iron deficient. No idea how you are supposed to get iron out of ice though.
