Ice Chewers Bulletin Board - All about Chewing Ice

First time here.

It is nice to know I am not the only crazy cruncher out there!

I have been reading the posts and relate to many of the stories. However, I am surprised no one mentions teeth pain. My teeth hurt, but I can't stop chomping away. So, I take Ibupropen or acetaminaphen if it gets too bad. Then, the pain goes away and I get the ice out again! I feel like such an addict. My husband is just waiting for my teeth to fall out. Anyone share this experience with the pain?

it hasnt seemed to effect me yet

perhaps when i age another 20 years or so

Sure I have the exact same problem but I handle it the same way. Take Motrin till it feels better then get another cup of ice. Sad but true.My teeth are still in great shape though. I think it is a sensitivity thing....

I JUST FOUND THIS WEBSITE TODAY. I LOVE ICE. BUT AT NIGHT WHEN I GO TO SLEEP THE NUMBNESS IN MY MOUTH FROM THE ICE GOES AWAY . AND TALK ABOUT PAIN . SOMETIMES IT WAKES ME UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT A SPIDER CRAWLED IN MY MOUTH AND BIT ME. I WAS THINKING I SHOULD GO TO EMERGENCY HOSPITAL THE PAIN WAS SO BAD. MY WHOLE MOUTH WAS KILLING ME. I HAVE SINCE TRIED TO SLOW DOWN A BIT ON THE ICE. IT IS SO HARD. I TAKE AN ALEVE WHEN IT HAPPENS.

Oh yeah...I've noticed some teeth pain recently. When I first noticed, I thought maybe I had a cavity forming. I later noticed that the pain only comes occasionally during my ice-eating binges! Someone told me that I've possibly exposed a nerve and they suggested I see my dentist. Ouch!

I failed to mention teeth pain. I have to use the heating pad and hold it on my face for about 20-30 minutes, so the pain will ease up and I can hopefully go to sleep before I get-up and go get some more ice! Now that is sick

OMG!!!! Yes this is my first time posting(thank goodness for this site!!!!) When I have pain I take Advil liquid gels and it goes away quickly!!!!!

Sometimes when the pain gets bad for me I get a cup of warm water and drink a little warm water before I chew on ice I have sensitive teeth so it helps to warm them before I start chewing

As for actual teeth pain I havent experienced that yet.
