The holidays are here, which means an abundance of football, food and everyone's favorite - sugar. There's sure to be no shortage of sweets in the upcoming weeks.

Taking care of your teeth shouldn't be a once-a-year occurrence. You should definitely pay extra attention to your teeth over the holidays.

Chewing ice can be a great way to cool off, especially now that summer is here. But besides the annoying chewing sound, what are the downsides of chewing ice?
Our teeth deal with a lot throughout the day and are under a constant barrage of bacteria from the food we eat. While teeth are strong, they aren’t meant to chew ice, and doing so can damage your teeth by causing cracks or chips, damaging tooth enamel and even damaging fillings.
