Sonic ice—those soft, crunchy nuggets—feels like the guilt-free way to indulge your ice-chewing habit. It breaks apart easily, is gentler on the jaw… and tastes satisfying. But here’s the cold truth: it’s still risky.
🔬 Softer ≠ Safe
Sonic ice applies less force to your teeth, true. But if you chew it often, the repeated pressure still causes enamel wear over time. It’s a slower burn—but the fire is still there.
🛠️ Dental Work Isn’t Safe Either
Think fillings, crowns, veneers. Even if the ice seems soft, your restorations can crack or loosen under repeated stress. Especially if you find yourself biting down hard or chewing out of habit.
