Does eating or crunching ice really hurt your teeth?!


Question:

Does eating or crunching ice really hurt your teeth?

My inlaws keep letting my baby chew ice and i don't want to have to deal with extensive dental bills in the future. Does ice really ruin your teeth?


Answers:

well, for babies it is a good way to deal with the pain and discomfort associated with teething, and those baby teeth are going to come out anyway. However, it is not a good habit to give to kids, they invariably continue the habit when they have their permanent teeth and chewing ice does indeed damage the enamel. Suggest you give them an alternate means of dealing with the teething and insist that they stop giving the child ice. It is your child, not theirs.
