Chewing ice cubes -- good or bad?
Greetings
My apologies for making two posts at once, but this follows from the previous topic:
I find chewing ice cubes is an *excellent* substitute for chewing something worse -- say, a chocolate bar or chips. It's just water.
But dentists tell you not to, because it supposedly chips the enamel off your teeth. Also, I'll occasionally swallow an ice cube whole, without chewing at all.
Aside from chipping the enamel off your teeth, what are some of the side effects of chewing ice?
Thanks in advance
