Anemia And Ice Cubes

Hello Doctor

.
Anahad OConnor, newspaper columnist for The New York Times, recently wrote an article that links the habit of chewing ice cubes with anemia.
.
The researchers actually do not really understand the connection, but some of them suspect that compulsive ice consumption-called pagophagia eases inflammation in the mouth caused by a lack of iron levels in the body, she wrote.
.
From the experience of the doctors, patients who claim to have this habit did indeed show low levels of hemoglobin, after a blood test. This condition is called the pagophagia, which indicates a lack of iron levels in the blood.
.
Apparently, quite a lot of column readers who have such experience. A woman named Nancy left a message under the article.
.
It was an impulse for me, Nancy wrote. I chewed on ice until three of my teeth were damaged, and had to throw money to fix it. I was then diagnosed with severe anemia, started taking iron, and had to undergo an ablation procedure. From then on I never wanted a piece of ice at all.
.
Tooth decay seems to be a direct effect of the habit of chewing ice cubes. Ice can erode tooth enamel, according to Dr. Igal Elyassi, dental cosmetic expert and owner of the Wilshire Smile Studio Dental Group in Los Angeles. According Elyassi, the damage was due to dental activity in an effort to solve the hard substance in a long time. This gives the same effect with the habit of people tooth tooth during sleep. As a result, affected teeth can become shorter. Or, when you chew on ice in large quantities, your whole tooth could fall out.
.
On the MSN website, Elyassi said that in fact this habit is not difficult to stop. He suggested to replace ice cubes with a cold drink. Meanwhile, damaged teeth can be overcome with the use of coatings or dental jackets.
