Is it bad to crunch on/suck on ice cubes all the time?!


Question: It is indeed harmful, according to my dentist -- it can cause your teeth to crack if they become to cold, in the same an ice cube cracks when you pour hot liquid over it.

I have been told it's bad for your teeth... I still do it my teeth are still nice and white!

It's hard on the teeth. This craving is classically a sign of anemia-you might want to have your doc draw a blood count.

Only for the people who have to listen to you crunching your ice

Its not bad, but it might mean u are sexually frustrated

Have a blood test, you probably have anemia.

i dont see why it would be bad for you, it's only frozen water. water is good for you.

It can crack your teeth. My dentist fusses at me for doing it every time I go in.

I see no harm in it cause I did it the whole time I was pregnant with my 2nd child. I've heard that it means you are lacking iron in your body. It never hurt me so go ahead & eat ice. I went thru 10# bag of ice everyday. I could not get enough of it. Weird, huh?

It could indicate anemia or some mineral deficiency. Or it could be that you just like ice cubes.
