I have no teeth. I am 46 years old. I am addicted to chewing ice. I chew about 160 oz. of ice a day. I have been chewing ice for over a year. I know I am anemic. My hemoglobin is 9,8. I have noticed my jaw bone coming through my gums on both sides on the lower jaw and the gums on the upper jaw is split length ways on both sides. My question is what is the worst that can happen if I keep chewing ice. I am not sure I can stop. Thank you for considerations,

Too much ice.
