Yes. Tooth enamel is crystalline in structure, and the frequent drastic changes in temperature resulting from eating crushed ice causes the enamel to expand and contract. Over time, the expansion and contraction of the enamel results in the weakening of the structure. This can lead to fractures in the enamel, especially if the tooth has a filling, because the filling material expands and contracts at a different rate than the enamel. This puts additional stress on the enamel and increases the likelihood of fracture.
