Chewing ice "occasionally" won't break teeth. If you chew ice constantly, then yes, your teeth can possibly be damaged. My pups love ice, and I give them crushed ice from the freezer as a treat in their water-it's fun to watch them bob for it with their paws.
Ps. I can tell you that I am never without a cup of ice to chew, and I have been that way for a solid 5 years, and my teeth haven't broken. I empty the ice machine at my house and both of them at my office, several times daily, in my constant need to chew ice.
Is ice really that much harder than kibble? Our ice is kind of soft and slushy when it's crushed,,,
