Does chewing ice cause cavities?
Yes. Fracture lines, chips, and cracks are common results from frequent ice chewing, and if any is large enough the victim could require a root canal or even a tooth extraction! It will wear down the enamel on your teeth much faster than is normal, which leads to cavities.
