ADDICTED TO EATING ICE?

[Anonymous]

every since i was 6/7 i would constantly crave ice there is something extremely satisifying to me when i eat frost from the freezer or ice there's a certain taste to it. I know it can't be good for my teeth but i can't stop im confused why i've been doing it for so many years my family thinks its for attention but its really not its a habit that i can't seem to break. Like Nicotin is to smokers. I also notice the most i crave and eat is when im upset frustrasted, but aside from that there's days i dont even notice myself doing it. I remember when i was little and my mom would take me to the store she'd be 5-6 ft in front of me bc i would stop to eat the frost out of the pizza freezer things they had and when she bought icecream i didn't care about the icecream it was the frost on the carton that i wanted lol

Are you anemic? Cravings for strange things like ice or dirt are a sign of an iron deficiency. It's called pica.

You should be aware you are causing damage to your teeth by chewing ice. Replace your bad habits with new ones that aren't as harmful, like sucking on mints.

I've once had that addiction.. would taste blood after that.
Your teeth however can be put through so much as to remove bottle caps when your young, because the teeth of an child are much stronger.
